Roth&Rau AG completes capital increase in return for non-cash
contributions
Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 7 April 2010 - Roth&Rau AG has completed a capital
increase in return for non-cash contributions. This transaction was entered
in the Commercial Register on 6 April 2010. As set out in the ad-hoc
announcement of 5 February 2010, the capital increase served to fund part
of the acquisition of OTB Solar B.V., Eindhoven, Netherlands (OTB Solar),
which has meanwhile been completed.
Making partial use of the Authorised Capital II, the share capital was
increased from EUR 15,179,999 to EUR 16,207,045 through the issue of
1,027,046 new non-par ordinary bearer shares. Existing shareholders'
subscription rights were excluded. The total placement price of the new
shares was EUR 30,000,000 based on a rounded value per share of EUR 29.21.
All the new shares were issued to OTB Group B.V., Eindhoven, Netherlands,
(OTB Group), the former parent company of OTB Solar. In consideration of
these shares, OTB Group surrendered all shares in OTB Solar to Roth&Rau
AG, with OTB Group receiving additional cash consideration of EUR 5.5
million.
The capital increase has resulted in a dilution of the shares held by
existing shareholders. The new shareholder structure of Roth&Rau AG is as
follows: Dr. Dietmar Roth (founder and CEO) now holds 4.90% (previously
5.24 %). Dr. Bernd Rau (founder) holds 4.65% (previously 4.96%). Dr. Silvia
Roth (founder) holds 1.80% (previously 1.93%). OTB Group B.V. is now a
major shareholder, holding 6.34% of the shares in Roth&Rau AG. The shares
owned by OTB Group are subject to a lock-up period of 16 months from the
issue date of the new shares.
