Unternehmens Invest AG: UIAG starts implementation of the capital increase

Vienna (pta019/03.01.2019/15:05 UTC+1) On 28 November 2018, the extraordinary general meeting of Unternehmens Invest Aktiengesellschaft ("UIAG") resolved to increase the share capital (i) from EUR 30,897,500 by EUR 14,545,183.51 to EUR 45,442,683.51 with a capital increase against contribution in kind by issuing 2,000,713 no-par bearer shares and (ii) to further increase the share capital by EUR 861,087.88 with a cash capital increase by issuing 118,444 no-par bearer shares at an issue price of EUR 25.30 per share.

UIAG hereby announces that the implementation of the capital increase against contribution in kind was initiated on 3 January 2019 by the signing of the respective contribution in kind agreements. The capital increase against contribution in kind is conditional on the non-prohibition of the execution or on the approval of the acquisition of a controlling interest in Plastech Holding GmbH (FN 477114 p) and UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH (FN 453313 m) by the Austrian Federal Competition Authority. The capital increase against contribution in kind will be effective upon the registration of its execution in the company register. The deadline for the submission of an application in accordance with section 11 (1) Austrian Merger Act (KartG) by the parties to the proceedings (application for examination of the merger in antitrust proceedings) ends on 11 January 2019. If no application for examination of the merger is filed, the registration of the execution of the capital increase against contribution in kind in the commercial register is expected during the month of January 2019.

After the registration of the execution of the capital increase against contribution in kind in the commercial register, the participation of UIAG in UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH, on their part holding 25% of the shares of the listed All for One Steeb AG, will be further strengthened and increased to around 90%. The participation of UIAG in Plastech Holding GmbH will be increased from currently 32% to 90%. The main assets of Plastech Holding GmbH are its 100% share in Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH, which in turn holds a majority stake in the German Kautex-Maschinenbau-Group (74.9% in the parent company Kautex Holding GmbH) and the stake of approximately 25.1% of BAGE Recycling GmbH.

The capital increase against contribution in kind will increase UIAG's share capital by around 47.08%.

In order to compensate the dilution of the free float shareholders in the course of the capital increase against contribution in kind, the resolved ordinary cash capital increase shall be carried out once a capital market prospectus has been approved by the Financial Market Authority. The possible public offer of shares of UIAG will be made exclusively on the basis of a capital market prospectus (including any supplements thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Market Act and approved by the Financial Market Authority. An investment decision regarding offered UIAG shares should only be made on the basis of such a capital market prospectus.
