Press Release
Atlas Capital Markets to invest up to 13.5M CHF in Accu Holding AG via Atlas
Alpha Yield Fund.
Emmenbrücke, 16th of November 2015 - Accu Holding AG (ACCU: SW), is pleased to
announce that it has secured access to a CHF 13.5 million funding facility
comprising CHF 5 million convertible bonds and a CHF 8.5 million share
placement. Under an agreement signed on November 12th, 2015 (the "Agreement"),
Atlas Capital Markets, the London based private alternative investment firm, has
agreed to provide the financing over the next three years.
ACCU has no obligation to draw on the funds on offer and will control the timing
and maximum amount of any share placement and convertible bonds under this
facility, subject to the requirement that the holding of ACCU shares by Atlas
Capital Markets is not to exceed 14.9%.
ACCU has also agreed to issue 150 000 warrants to Atlas Capital Markets, each
carrying the right to subscribe for one new ordinary share in the company. 75
000 warrants have been issued at the signature date of the Agreement and 75 000
will be issued in connection with the issue of convertible bonds. The warrants
will be exercisable for a period of three years from the signature date of the
Agreement at an initial exercise price of CHF 15.
The share placement and the issue of convertible bonds shall be carried out at
various stages, depending on the needs of ACCU to finance future growth.
ACCU further announces that the partial relocation of its Swiss based
hydraulic-tooling manufacturing capacity at RCT will be completed by the end of
November 2015 as announced at the last general assembly on June 16th. As of
December 2015, RCT Hydraulic Tooling s.r.o., Slovakia will be able to contribute
about 30% of the current production volume through toll-work for the facility in
Klus. With this step the break-even point of the Swiss operation should be
reduced and realigned to current market conditions; further relocation will be
reviewed in the first quarter 2016.
