First Sensor capital increase completed
First Sensor AG successfully completed a capital increase of 3,217,074
shares with an exercise price of EUR10.00 per share and retroactive
entitlement to dividend as of January 1, 2011. The Board of Directors and
the Supervisory Board consider the high subscription interest even above
the individual subscription rights as a sign of confidence in the future
development of First Silicon AG. Shares not directly subscripted by
shareholders were offered interested shareholders as an additional purchase
option at the original purchase price.
The funds raised by this increase in the amount of EUR32.2 million will be
spent to finance the purchase of 100 % of the shares of the Sensortechnics
Group. Thus, the purchase will be closed soon.
By this purchase First Sensor Group will be much better stay a stabil and
reliable partner for their customers, expecially relevant in single source
supplier situations. The Board of Directors consider the increasing number
of request of potentially new customer in the last few weeks as an
affirmation of the chosen direction.
