Bergisch Gladbach, 3 November 2011 - The Management Board of INDUS Holding
AG (Frankfurt, Düsseldorf: INH.DE; ISIN DE0006200108; Prime Standard) today
decided, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to carry out an
ex-rights cash capital increase which makes partial use of the company's
authorised capital. The company is to issue 2,020,702 new bearer shares
with an imputed share in the share capital of a rounded EUR 2.60 at a price
of EUR 18.40 per share. This exercise is to increase the company's share
capital by EUR 5,253,825.20 from EUR 52,538,291.22 to EUR 57,792,116.42.
The new shares are to carry a full dividend entitlement for the financial
year 2011 and are to be admitted for trading in the regulated market (Prime
Standard) at the Frankfurt and Düsseldorf stock exchanges without a
prospectus being published. By completing this capital increase INDUS
Holding AG is to obtain gross proceeds of EUR 37,180,916.
All of the newly issued shares are to be acquired fully by the
Versicherungskammer Bayern group which has agreed to subscribe the shares
as part of its long-term investment strategy in the capital market. The
Versicherungskammer Bayern group can thus raise its stake in the company
from approximately 9.09% to approximately 17.36%. The completion of the
capital increase and the acquisition of the new shares are subject to
approval by the Federal Cartel Office.
The Management Board is convinced that the planned strengthening of the
company's capital and liquidity base will provide a stable base for the
company's future development especially against the background of a
weakening economic environment, thereby giving INDUS Holding AG additional
opportunities to acquire new portfolio companies.
