AG has announced its plans for an increase of approximately €450
million in the company’s equity base. The financing will be prepared by
Credit Suisse and Dresdner Kleinwort, with major investors expected to
contribute at least €125 million. The company will discuss the capital
increase with shareholders at its AGM in Hamburg on August 28th, 2008.
The capital increase will be used mainly to pay back bridge financing of €240 million, and also to finance planned instalments for the repayment of a syndicated loan. The remainder of the capital increase will be invested in the company’s restructuring and business growth.
