ams: ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces that it expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting around the end of October 2019 to approve the equity issuance in conjunction with the all-cash takeover offer for Osram Licht AG. The invitation to the EGM will be published in due course, including further details on the proposed Euro 1.5 bn equity issuance to partially refinance the Euro 4.2 billion acquisition bridge facility in conjunction with the Offer. This decision reflects the positive feedback ams has received from shareholders and investors during a global investor roadshow over the last two weeks. Based on extensive interaction with investors in Europe, the US and Asia, ams sees strong support for its strategic vision including Osram which is reinforcing ams' conviction for the Offer. Capitalising on this positive momentum, ams intends to lower the acceptance threshold of the Offer to 62.5% from the previous 70% to de-risk the Offer reflecting further analysis of Osram's shareholder base, and achieve success sooner. ams continues to encourage all Osram shareholders to tender into the Offer. All other terms and conditions of the Offer remain unchanged and the Offer is due to expire on 1 October 2019 at midnight (CEST).

Group revenue in the latest three-month period was Euro 611.6 mn (Q2 prior year: Euro 630.7 mn). In the Fruit segment, due to the first-half earnings trend in the fruit preparations business, and in expectation of a weaker apple harvest for the fruit juice concentrate activities, a significant EBIT decrease is now expected for the full financial year as well. However, thanks to significant earnings improvements in the Starch and Sugar segments, Agrana reaffirms the forecast of significant growth in Group EBIT for the current 2019|20 financial year.
