Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 KR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 2 May 2017, a vast majority of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of
Highlight Event and Entertainment AG, Pratteln ("Company"), led by the Chairman
of the Company's board of directors, Bernhard Burgener, followed the two
proposals of the board of directors. The shareholders' meeting approved the
proposed ordinary capital increase from currently CHF 15,592,500 to maximum CHF
62,370,000 with 99.98% and the proposed extension and increase of the Company's
authorized share capital with 99.98% of all votes present or represented. At the
Extraordinary General Meeting, 83.88% of the shares were represented.
The board of directors will have to implement the ordinary capital increase from
currently CHF 15,592,500 to maximum CHF 62,370,000 by the issuance of up to
5,197,500 fully paid-up bearer shares with a nominal value of CHF 9 each ("HLEE
Shares") within three months whereas the HLEE Shares shall be paid up as
follows: (i) 2,473,521 HLEE Shares by a contribution in kind of a total of
15,076,308 individual shares of Constantin Medien AG, Ismaning, Germany,
presumably, with a value of EUR 2.30 per individual share, (ii) 1,070,000 HLEE
Shares by an offsetting with an offsettable loan claim of CHF 16,050,000 and
(iii) up to 1,653,979 HLEE Shares in cash, each with a subscription price of
presumably CHF 15. The final amount of newly issued HLEE Shares will correspond
to the amount of subscriptions received during the rights offering period,
including the subscriptions received from third party investors. The
subscriptions rights of the current shareholders will be granted; each issued
share will entitle its holder to subscribe for three new HLEE Shares at
subscription price.
Provided that the ordinary capital increase in the amount of at least 3,500,000
HLEE Shares is implemented, the board of directors will additionally be
authorized to increase the Company's share capital by a maximum of 2,538,426
HLEE Shares until 2 May 2019.
