Kronach - March 21, 2014: Loewe AG has today signed a notarial sale and
purchase agreement with Munich-based investors Stargate Capital GmbH in
respect of all business operations of Loewe AG and Loewe Opta GmbH. The
acquirer will maintain these business operations at the site in Kronach -
including production - as a going concern. The deal is due to be completed
at the beginning of April this year. The purchase price is in the higher
single-digit millions of euros; of this total, a six-digit amount will be
included in the insolvency estate assets of Loewe AG, while the remaining
amount will form part of the insolvency estate assets of Loewe Opta GmbH.
The purchase price will not be sufficient to fully satisfy the claims of
all insolvency creditors; no payment will be made to the shareholders.
Payment of the purchase price and funding of the ongoing business
operations by the acquirer and the banks involved are fully secured.
