EDAG Engineering Group AG: EDAG places promissory note loan in the amount of 120
million Euros

Arbon 09. July 2018

EDAG, a leading independent engineering services provider to the global
automotive industry, has realigned its financing. By way of a promissory note
loan (Schuldschein), 120 million Euros with maturities of five to ten years have
been successfully placed. The funds obtained will be used to refinance existing
liabilities at advantageous rates on the one hand, and to secure the further
growth of the company on the other hand.

"The successful transaction shows the trust of investors in our company and the
strategic focus of the EDAG Group as an innovative partner to the global
automotive industry", says Juergen Vogt, CFO of the company. "We took advantage
of the favourable environment at the loan market, in order to secure our
financing for a longer period, and to significantly improve the maturity
profile. We have now aligned our financing for the dynamic growth in the
currently changing environment within the automotive industry."

The promissory note loan (Schuldschein) was placed with a broadly diversified
group of investors in the German-speaking region. Landesbank Baden-Württemberg,
Unicredit and Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen accompanied the transaction.
