supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces that its Management
Board has resolved today, subject to the consent of the Supervisory Board, to
exclude subscription rights in view of a potential placement of Convertible
Bonds (the "Bonds"). The Bonds with an expected maturity of seven years shall be
convertible into existing ordinary no par value bearer shares or new ordinary no
par value bearer shares from the Company's conditional capital equal to up to
10% of the current issued and outstanding share capital. The net proceeds of the
Bonds will be used to secure funding in relation to the envisaged ultimate full
acquisition of OSRAM Licht AG ("OSRAM") as well as for general corporate
purposes. The timing and terms of the placement of the Bonds, if any, will be
determined subject to market conditions.
In addition to the potential issuance of the Bonds, ams is in preparations to
enter into a new up to EUR 750 million bridge facility with a consortium of
banks, cancelling out the existing bridge facilities.
The intended issuance of the Bonds and envisaged new bridge facility will
together serve to secure comprehensive funding to implement the DPLTA as well as
subsequent steps in order to realize the full integration of OSRAM. In line with
ams' long-term funding strategy and prudent balance sheet management, the above-
mentioned transactions will complement the term profile of existing debt and
maximize financial flexibility for ams.
Demonstrating a strong quarterly development, ams also announces third quarter
2020 revenues for ams' business excluding OSRAM of USD 564 million, near the top
end of the stated expectation range. As previously announced, ams will publish
full consolidated third quarter results on 6 November 2020.
A notice (Hinweisbekanntmachung) of the report by the Management Board on the
exclusion of subscription rights in relation to the potential issuance of the
Bonds, as required by Austrian law, is being published in the Vienna Gazette
(Amtsblatt der Wiener Zeitung) on or about Friday, 9 October 2020.
