Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Hamburg, Nov. 14, 2003. The Management and Supervisory Board of d+s online AG (ISIN DE0005336804 / WKN 533 680) have decided to increase the companys equity capital by EUR 668,712.00 through the issuance of 668,712 shares with no par value again a cash contribution in order to reinforce the companys capital base and financial strength. The new shares, to which existing shareholders do not have preemptive rights, were underwritten at a price of EUR 1.80 per share by the VEM Aktienbank AG in Munich, which will offer these shares to long-term investors.
The inflow of funds in the amount of EUR 1.2 million will for the most part be used to expand the facilities in Bremerhaven and Frankfurt/Oder, which have not yet been completely equipped with the required infrastructure. This expansion is necessary to accommodate the higher revenues projected for the 2004 financial year. In addition, the funds will be used in the short term to finance operations in the traditionally busy fourth quarter and as a result reduce the necessity of outside financing.
d+s online AG, which is included in the Prime Standard index, operates communication centers at eight locations in Germany. With revenues of EUR 48 million (E2003) and 1,600 employees, d+s online AG ranks among Germanys largest providers of CRM, communication center and telemarketing services.
