ams intends to place its entire treasury stock of 3.35 million shares prior to the forthcoming rights issue\nPlacement of treasury shares aims at further enhancing the ams shareholder base and preventing dilution as treasury shares are not granted subscription rights under Austrian law\nPremstaetten, Austria (28 January 2020) -- ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces the intention to place its entire 3.35 million shares of treasury stock by means of a private placement at market conditions ("Transaction") to selected institutional investors. The Transaction is expected to be executed prior to the forthcoming rights issue which was approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of ams on 24 January 2020 (the "Rights Issue").
Under Austrian corporate law, treasury shares are not entitled to subscription rights in the context of a Rights Issue. As such, the intended Transaction is in essence a technical measure to prevent an automatic economic dilution. The Transaction is expected to be executed by UBS and HSBC.
