Herzogenaurach - Following approval by the Supervisory Board, the
Executive Board of adidas-Salomon AG today decided to increase the
company’s share capital against contribution in cash, with the
exclusion of shareholders’ pre-emptive rights. The company intends to
increase its capital by issuing approximately 4.5 million
adidas-Salomon AG common shares by way of an accelerated bookbuild
offering to German and international institutional investors
(including a placement to qualified institutional buyers in the U.S.
in reliance on Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933).
The proceeds of the offering, which amount to approximately EUR 640
million, will contribute to the financing of the acquisition of
Reebok International Ltd, which is planned for completion in the
first half of 2006.
The size of the offering equates to approximately 10% of the
company’s outstanding share capital. Deutsche Bank AG and Merrill
Lynch International have been appointed to act as Joint Global
Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners. Pricing and allocation of the new
shares is expected to occur on November 4, 2005.
