IMMOFINANZ AG
DGAP-Ad-hoc: IMMOFINANZ AG / Key word(s): Real Estate/Corporate Action IMMOFINANZ AG considers potential capital measures The Executive Board of IMMOFINANZ AG (FN 114425 y, ISIN AT0000A21KS2) resolved today to commence the preparations for a potential placement of shares of the Company and a potential issuance of mandatory convertible notes. In the event any of such capital measures takes place, the shares of the Company and the mandatory convertible notes shall be offered to institutional investors in the course of private placements by way of accelerated bookbuilding procedures under exclusion of the shareholders' subscription rights. Share placement For a possible placement of shares of the Company, the Company may combine a share capital increase against contributions in cash using the authorised capital resolved upon by the shareholders' meeting dated 11 May 2018 (sections 169 et seq. of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and a sale of treasury shares of the Company, in each case excluding the subscription rights of shareholders in accordance with the authorisations of the shareholders' meetings dated 11 May 2018 and 22 May 2019, respectively. The required reports of the Executive Board for the exclusion of subscription rights for a cash capital increase and a sale of treasury shares will be available on the Company's website on or around 16 June 2020 and the corresponding notices of publication shall be published in in the Official Gazette (Amtsblatt) of the Wiener Zeitung. The combined placement of shares from the cash capital increase and treasury shares may in aggregate comprise up to 22,417,052 shares of the Company. This corresponds to approx. 20 per cent. of the current share capital of the Company. The potential maximum aggregate placement volume may be reduced if the Company were to issue mandatory convertible notes (see below). The issue price (selling price) of the shares shall be determined in an accelerated bookbuilding procedure. Issue of mandatory convertible notes As a further potential capital measure the Company considers to issue mandatory convertible notes with a maturity of three years for initially up to 16,812,790 shares of the Company. This corresponds to approx. 15 per cent of the current share capital of the Company. The maximum number of shares underlying the mandatory convertible notes and, consequently, the aggregate principal amount of mandatory convertible notes that could be issued, would be reduced if the Company were to conduct the share placement (as described below). A potential issue of the mandatory convertible notes shall be effected pursuant to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting dated 11 May 2018 under exclusion of the shareholders' subscription rights. At maturity, the mandatory convertible notes will be mandatorily converted into new or existing ordinary shares of the Company at a predefined conversion price. In the event the issue of the mandatory convertible notes takes place, the terms and conditions of the mandatory convertible notes, in particular the aggregate principal amount, the conversion premium and the interest rate shall be determined in an accelerated bookbuilding procedure. If a placement of shares and an issue of mandatory convertible notes take place concurrently, the reference price of the mandatory convertible notes will correspond to the issue price (selling price) of the shares determined in the course of the execution of the share placement. The maximum aggregate of (i) the number of shares to be placed (by way of a sale of treasury shares and a cash capital increase) and (ii) the (initial) number of shares underlying the mandatory convertible notes shall not exceed 28,021,316 shares. This corresponds to approx. 25 per cent. of the current share capital of the Company. Whether and which of the capital measures - placement of shares and issue of a mandatory convertible bond - are carried out, as well as the timing and conditions in each case, depend in particular on the market environment, the investor interests and the approval of the Company's Supervisory Board. Use of funds The capital measures shall serve to strengthen the capital structure of the Company and also to strengthen the relevant key figures for the existing issuer rating and bond rating (ISIN XS1935128956) from Standard & Poor's, currently in each case investment grade rating (BBB-, stable outlook). The net proceeds shall be used for refinancing of financial liabilities, capitalise on potential growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.
