Capital Measures 11.03.2020
- ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces the terms relating to the ordinary capital increase with subscription rights (the "Rights Issue") that has been approved at the extraordinary general meeting on 24 January 2020.
Terms of the Rights Issue
The management board of ams decided on 11 March 2020 to issue 189,869,454 new ordinary no-par value bearer shares with full dividend rights as of 1 January 2019 (the "Offered Shares") by way of a discounted rights offering at an offer price of CHF 9.20 (the "Offer Price") per Offered Share, which corresponds to expected gross proceeds of approximately CHF 1.75bn (approximately EUR 1.65bn). The proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used to partially finance/refinance the acquisition amount including related costs in connection with the business combination with OSRAM Licht AG.
For each existing ams share, ams shareholders will receive one subscription right (each a "Right"). 4 Rights entitle each eligible holder to purchase 9 Offered Shares at the Offer Price. Following the publication of the prospectus, which is expected on 13 March 2020, the rights exercise period will start on 16 March 2020 and end on 30 March 2020.
ams shareholders who decide not to participate in the Rights Issue will have the opportunity to sell their Rights on the SIX Swiss Exchange during the Rights trading period which is expected from 16 March 2020 to and including 26 March 2020.
The Rights Issue consists of a rights offering to existing shareholders, subject to certain limitations based on residency, and an international offering, in which the Offered Shares in respect of which Rights have not been validly exercised may be sold to institutional investors or otherwise in the market. The Rights Issue involves a public offering in Switzerland and Austria as well as private placements to qualifying institutional investors in certain jurisdictions outside Switzerland and Austria in compliance with applicable securities laws.
The first trading day for the Offered Shares is expected on or around 2 April 2020, the settlement and delivery of the Offered Shares against payment of the Offer Price are expected on or around 2 April 2020.
