The Executive Board of KUKA Aktiengesellschaft has, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, resolved to increase the share capital of the Company with the exclusion of shareholder subscription rights by means of a partial utilization of authorized capital by an amount of EUR 6,915,974.00 to EUR 76,075,974.00 in exchange for cash contributions.
2,659,990 bearer shares will be issued at the par value of EUR 2.60 per share and at the offer price of EUR 10.50 per share; this corresponds to the opening price on the Xetra market on November 06, 2009.
The subscription rights of shareholders are excluded on the basis of the authorization in § 4 para. 5 sentence 3 of the Articles of Association.
The new shares are subscribed and taken over by Bank Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co.KG, Hamburg, and are entitled to dividends beginning in fiscal year 2009.
From the capital increase the Company will therefore receive net proceeds from the issue in the amount of EUR 27,929,895.00 million.
The proceeds will serve to strengthen the capital basis of KUKA Aktiengesellschaft.
The new shares will be admitted for trade, without prospectus, in the regulated market as well as the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) on the Frankfurt Securities Exchange as well as in the regulated markets on the respectively stock exchanges in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich and Stuttgart.
