Company Information/Capital Increase
16.01.2009
As part of the multi-stage strategy programme launched on January 7, 2009, the Management Board of Hamburg-based MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (ISIN DE 0005187603) today decided, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the company´s share capital in two steps from EUR 12,146,418 to EUR 18,212,918 by way of a capital issue out of authorised capital.
The Management Board expects the capital increase to strengthen the equity base by approx. EUR 48.5 million to a total of EUR 121 million. At the same time, MPC Capital has obtained important and comprehensive commitments from its financing partners with regard to existing and new agreements and terms. In a first step, a total of 1,214,418 new no-par bearer shares will be issued ex rights at a price of EUR 8 per share to the company´s main shareholder, Corsair III Investments (Luxembourg) s.á.r.l., out of authorised capital.
In a second step, 4,851,859 new no-par bearer shares will be offered to the company´s shareholders for subscription at a ratio of 50:19. The new shares will be taken over by UniCredit (Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG), which is obliged to offer them to the company´s shareholders for subscription. The subscription price is EUR 8 per new share. The subscription period will begin on January 23 and end on February 5, 2009. The subscription rights will not be traded at the stock exchange.
Shareholders MPC Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH and Corsair III Investments (Luxembourg) s.á.r.l. have formally agreed to backstop the capital increase, which means that they will exert their subscription rights in full and acquire any new shares not subscribed by the eligible shareholders to the extent that their shareholdings do not exceed 29.9% after the capital increase.
Oldehaver Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, another shareholder of the company, has also formally agreed to backstop the capital increase and exert its subscription rights under the capital increase in full and acquire any new shares not subscribed by the eligible shareholders to the extent that these shares have not been acquired by Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH and/or Corsair III Investments (Luxembourg) s.á.r.l.
The new shares from the capital increase are expected to be included in the pricing of the company´s shares in the regulated market of the stock exchanges in Frankfurt am Main and Hamburg by mid-2009.
