Capital increase of up to 1,300,000 new shares from authorized capital
starting.
Vienna, November 21, 2023 – The management board of Kapsch TrafficCom AG
(FN 223805a; ISIN AT000KAPSCH9) resolved this morning to pursue a capital
increase from authorized capital through the issuance of up to 1,300,000
new ordinary no-par value bearer shares (corresponding to up to 10% of the
existing share capital), thereof up to 477,217 shares against cash
contributions and up to 822,783 shares against contributions in kind.
Subscription rights of shareholders for the proposed capital increase from
authorized capital have been excluded by the annual general meeting on
September 6, 2023. New shares will carry full dividend rights from and
including the pending fiscal year 2023/2024.
The company has asked the Vienna Stock Exchange to suspend trading in the
company’s shares (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9) on the Official Market of the Vienna
Stock Exchange. The suspension of trading in the shares is to last until
the result of the transaction is published.
The shares will be offered to domestic and international institutional
investors through an accelerated book-building process to be launched
immediately. The shares will not be offered to the public. The final
number of new shares and the offer price is expected to be determined by
the management board, with approval of the supervisory board, in the
course of today.
Raiffeisen Bank International AG was commissioned to carry out the cash
capital increase.
KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH, the company’s majority shareholder,
confirmed to participate in the capital increase pro rata to its existing
participation of 63.291%. Participation by KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH
will be against contributions in kind (receivables against Kapsch
TrafficCom AG). Thus, KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH will subscribe for
approx. 63.291% of the new shares, being up to 822,783 new shares against
contributions in kind.
Application will be made to admit the up to 1,300,000 new shares to
trading on the Official Market (Prime Market Segment) of the Vienna Stock
Exchange. The first trading day in the new shares on the Vienna Stock
Exchange is expected to be November 24, 2023.
Kapsch TrafficCom intends to use the net proceeds from the placement for
general corporate purposes and the placement is made to strengthen its
equity base.
