Ad hoc Announcement pursuant to Art. 53 Listing Rules of SIX Swiss
Exchange
——————————
ams OSRAM announces terms of fully underwritten Rights Issue
Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (20 November 2023) — ams OSRAM
(SIX: AMS) 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 20 October 2023.
Terms of fully underwritten Rights Issue
The management board of ams OSRAM decided on 20 November 2023 to issue
[724,154,662] new ordinary no-par value bearer shares with full dividend
rights as of January 1, 2023 (the “Offered Shares”) by way of a discounted
rights offering at an offer price of CHF [1.07] (the “Offer Price”) per
Offered Share, which corresponds to expected gross proceeds of
approximately CHF [775] million (approximately EUR [802] million). ams
OSRAM intends to use the proceeds from the Rights Issue, together with the
proceeds of its upsized and successfully priced offering of senior
unsecured notes announced on 16 November 2023 and the sale and leaseback
of the Group’s new Kulim 8-inch facility announced on 30 October 2023, to
redeem in full its outstanding $450,000,000 7% Senior Notes due 2025 and
€850,000,000 6% Senior Notes due 2025, repay amounts outstanding under
certain bank facilities, fund general corporate purposes, and pay related
fees and expenses.
For each existing ams OSRAM share, ams OSRAM shareholders will receive one
subscription right (each a “Right”). [4] Rights entitle each eligible
holder to purchase [11] Offered Shares at the Offer Price. The rights
exercise period will start on 22 November 2023 and end on 6 December 2023.
The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by a syndicate of banks.
ams OSRAM 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 22 November 2023
to and including 4 December 2023.
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,
Austria and Germany as well as private placements to qualifying
institutional investors in certain jurisdictions outside Switzerland,
Austria and Germany in compliance with applicable securities laws.
The first trading day for the Offered Shares and the settlement and
delivery of the Offered Shares against payment of the Offer Price are
expected on or around 11 December 2023.
