Orascom Development Holding AG veröffentlicht die Bedingungen der geplanten Kapitalerhöhung mit Bezugsrechtsangebot, mit der bestehende Projekte finanziert werden sollen

Altdorf, 14. April 2023 – Orascom Development Holding AG ("ODH" oder die "Gesellschaft") veröffentlicht heute die Bedingungen für eine Kapitalerhöhung mit Bezugsrechtsangebot.

Das Bezugsrechtsangebot umfasst 19'228'617 neue Namenaktien aus genehmigtem Kapital zu einem Bezugspreis von CHF 7.00 pro Aktie. Dies entspricht einem geringfügigen Abschlag zum Schlusskurs vom 13. April 2023.

Die Samih O. Sawiris Familie als Mehrheitsaktionärsgruppe, geführt von Naguib S. Sawiris, hat sich verpflichtet, die ihnen zugewiesenen Bezugsrechte über eine von der Familie kontrollierte Gesellschaft auszuüben. Dabei wird sie 13,152,291 Namenaktien mittels Verrechnung von Darlehen gegenüber der Gesellschaft gegen den Gesamtbezugspreis für diese neuen Namenaktien erwerben. Zusätzlich hat sich die Familie verpflichtet, diejenigen neuen Aktien, für welche die Bezugsrechte nicht gültig ausgeübt werden, gegen Barliberierung zu erwerben.

Im Rahmen der Kapitalerhöhung wird das Eigenkapital, nach Abzug der Transaktionsgebühren, um ungefähr CHF 132.0 Millionen erhöht. Die Erhöhung besteht aus Bareinlagen in der Höhe von CHF 39.9 Millionen sowie der teilweisen Verrechnung von Aktionärsdarlehen des Mehrheitsaktionärs in der Höhe von ungefähr CHF 92.1 Millionen. ODH wird den Erlös zur Finanzierung aktueller Projekte im Oman, Montenegro und dem Vereinigten Königreich sowie für allgemeine Unternehmenszwecke verwenden.

Aktionäre von ODH werden ein Bezugsrecht für jede Namenaktie erhalten, welche sie am 17. April 2023 (nach Börsenschluss) halten. 19 Bezugsrechte verleihen das Recht, 9 neue Namenaktien gegen Bezahlung des Bezugspreises zu erwerben. Rechtliche Beschränkungen ausländischer Jurisdiktionen sind vorbehalten. Der Handel mit Bezugsrechten ist ausgeschlossen. Die Bezugsrechte müssen zwischen dem 18.  April 2023 und dem 26. April 2023 12:00 Uhr MESZ ausgeübt werden. Bezugsrechte, welche nicht gültig ausgeübt werden, verfallen entschädigungslos mit dem Ablauf der genannten Frist. Die Kotierung und der erste Handelstag der neuen Namenaktien an der SIX Swiss Exchange und die Lieferung der neuen Namenaktien gegen Bezahlung des Bezugspreises werden am 28. April 2023 stattfinden.

Für weitere Informationen zur Kapitalerhöhung wird auf den heute publizierten Prospekt verwiesen.
