"'Swiss Technology' stands for ground-breaking innovation and the highest standard of quality," explained Markus Nolte, CEO of Montana Aerospace. "Montana Aerospace, which started out as a Swiss extrusion specialist, is a global leader today in the aerospace, e-mobility and energy sectors. Our strong commitment to profitable growth, transparency and ESG leadership has helped us win investors. By listing on SIX, we are going back to our Swiss roots and also raising the funds we need to continue our successful strategy."
In total, 19,727,096 shares were placed with investors. 17,153,997 shares were newly issued, generating CHF 440 million (approximately EUR 400 million) in gross proceeds for the Company. An additional 2,573,099 existing shares from the holdings of Montana Tech Components AG were allocated in the context of the over-allotment.
Based on the offer price, Montana Aerospace’s implied market capitalization is approximately CHF 1.2 billion (approximately EUR 1.1 billion). The free float amounts to approximately 36.4 % before any exercise of the over-allotment option. Assuming full exercise of the Greenshoe option, the free float will amount to approximately 41.8 %. Montana Tech Components AG will remain a majority shareholder in the Company with a stake of approximately 58.2 %. On the basis of guaranteed allocations in exchange for their pre-commitments, a total of approximately CHF 124.3 million (approximately EUR 113 million)), were allocated to (i) funds advised by Capital International Investors (approximately CHF 88 million / approximately EUR 80 million) and (ii) M&G Investments (approximately CHF 36.3 million / approximately EUR 33 million).
Montana Aerospace intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of new shares predominantly (approximately 60%) for inorganic growth programmes through strategic acquisitions to further consolidate the supply chain with the aim of unlocking attractive synergies and returns. The Group generally pursues a clear target list discussed with OEMs / Tier-1s with the intention of further strengthening collaboration and driving the integration of mission-critical services and products into the Group’s existing value chain. The remaining part of the net proceeds (approximately 40%) will be used for further organic growth activities, with the majority being backed by contracts that had already been started before the announcement of the IPO.
A lock-up period of twelve months is agreed with the Company and those members of the management holding shares, and a lock-up period of 24 months applies to the current sole shareholder Montana Tech Components AG.
Trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange (International Reporting Standard) will start today, 12 May 2021, under the Swiss Securities Number (Valor) 111 042 565, the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) CH1110425654 and the ticker symbol "AERO".

In connection with the offering, the Sole Global Coordinator or any person acting on its behalf may, on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners, effect transactions with a view to relieving selling pressure by supporting the market price of the shares for 30 calendar days after the first day of trading, until and including 10 June 2021, at levels less than or equal to the offer price within the limitations of Article 126 of the Financial Market Infrastructure Ordinance (Finanzmarktinfrastrukturverordnung).
