Oberkirch, May 15, 2012 - The Management Board of Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG
determined today, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, the final volume
of the capital increase by way of a subscription rights offering for
contribution in cash resolved on April 23, 2012. Accordingly, the company's
nominal share capital will be raised at a subscription ratio of 4:1 from EUR
7,500,000.00 by EUR 1,875,000.00 to EUR 9,375,000.00 through the issue of
625,000 new no-par value bearer shares each corresponding to EUR 3.00 of the
nominal capital. This means that the capital increase has been carried through
to its full extent. The implementation of the capital increase is expected to
be entered into the commercial register on May 16, 2012. The new shares will be
included in the existing share listing presumably on May 29, 2012.
Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG will receive gross proceeds of roughly EUR 22.8
million from the capital increase. These proceeds are planned to be invested in
the company's further growth. Landesbank Baden-Württemberg was mandated to act
as lead manager, and Silvia Quandt & Cie. AG was mandated to act as co-lead
manager for the transaction.
