Successful Placement: Corporate Bond of Singulus Technologies
Aktiengesellschaft fully placed bond issuance on first subscription day
- Interest rate of 7.75 % with a maturity of five years
- Full issuance volume of EUR 60 million placed on initial
subscription day
Kahl am Main, March 12, 2012 - Singulus Technologies Aktiengesellschaft
(SINGULUS) has successfully placed its first corporate bond in Germany,
Austria and Luxembourg as well as in a private offering to neighbouring
countries. Since the issuance volume of EUR 60 million was fully placed on
the initial subscription day due to strong demand, the subscription period
is expected to close earlier i.e. today at 15:00. Originally, the
subscription period was set from 12 March 12 to 20 March 2012.
The coupon of the notes is 7.75 % with a maturity of five years. There was
interest from both institutional and private investors for the bond and
resulted in a highly diversified investor base. Due to the earlier closing
of the subscription book, trading of the notes is expected to start from 14
March 2012 onwards on the Open Market of Deutsche Börse AG in the 'Entry
Standard for Bonds' segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN:
DE000A1MASJ4 / A1MASJ). Issuance and settlement date remains 23 March 2012.
The net proceeds of the bond issue will be used by Singulus Technologies
Aktiengesellschaft towards the financing of major projects in the Solar
division, for expanding the system partnership with manufacturers of
thin-film solar cells, for developing new products for the Solar division
and also developing production systems for next-generation Blu-ray Discs.
SINGULUS also intends to develop new areas of business in the field of
vacuum coating technology through research and development work, as well as
through acquisitions of companies or interests in companies.
Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, Chief Executive Officer of Singulus Technologies
Aktiengesellschaft, commented: 'We are delighted at the positive response
to our bond and interpret the strong demand as a sign of confidence in our
company and our future-capable technologies for Blu-ray, solar and
semiconductor technology.'
SINGULUS' aim is to position itself as a machinery supplier and development
partner for new cell concepts in the field of silicon and thin-film solar
technology and to increase its market lead for dual-layer Blu-ray Disc
production systems in the Optical Disc area. The company is also looking
closer at industries and areas where further market segments could be
tapped using its available expertise in the field of vacuum coating.
Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, Frankfurt am Main, acted as Sole Global
Coordinator and Bookrunner for the successful transaction.
