DGAP-Ad-hoc: USU Software AG / Key word(s): Share Buyback
Möglingen, August 31, 2022 - On the basis of the positive figures for the first half of 2022, the Management Board of USU Software AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU28) has today resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to make the company’s shareholders a public share buyback offer for up to 523,770 of the company’s shares (around 5% of the share capital) at a set price of EUR 18,75 per share (ISIN DE000A0BVU28).
The offer price of EUR 18,75 is equivalent to a premium of around 10% based on the arithmetic average of the price of the company’s shares in the closing auction in Xetra trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange over the last ten trading days before the publication of this decision to make a public tender offer. USU Software AG is thus exercising the authorization to acquire its own shares that was resolved by the company’s Annual General Meeting on June 26, 2020. The repurchased shares can be used for the purposes stipulated in the authorization resolution. The offer period is due to begin on September 7, 2022 at 00:00 a.m. (CET) and end at midnight/12:00 p.m. (CET) on October 5, 2022. The offer document will be published in the Federal Gazette on September 7, 2022, from which date it will also be available on the company’s website.
