Wild Bunch AG intends to carry out, with the support of its main shareholder Voltaire Finance B.V., a capital increase with subscription rights from authorised capital without a BaFin approved securities prospectus in the near term. The expected total volume of the capital increase is expected to amount up to EUR 40 million of issue proceeds. The new shares will be offered to existing shareholders by way of a rights offering.
For the purpose of a successful implementation of the capital increase, a simultaneous private placement of a portion of the new shares is planned. To this end, the major shareholder Voltaire Finance B.V. has indicated to waive its subscription rights. The new shares not subscribed by Voltaire Finance B.V. and other shareholders are intended to be placed with qualified investors by way of a private placement at the subscription price.
Further details will be disclosed together with the final decision to launch the above capital measure before its start.
