SLM Solutions: IPO greenshoe option exercised early
Luebeck, June 2, 2014 - SLM Solutions Group AG, a leading provider of
metal-based additive manufacturing technology (also referred to as "3D
printing"), announces the early and almost full exercise of the greenshoe
option as part of its IPO.
As a consequence, 1,176,201 of the total of 1,186,201 shares from the
greenshoe option that were previously held by the existing shareholders are
now held by institutional investors both in Germany and abroad.
"The exercising of the greenshoe option underscores the high degree of
interest in the SLM share," comments CFO Uwe Bögershausen. "For our
shareholders this means that we have reached our objective of ensuring the
largest free float possible and a broadly diversified shareholder
structure. In turn, this offers an important precondition for liquid
trading in our share, and boosts its attractiveness for investors."
After exercising the green shoe option, the free float amounts to approx.
56 %. The remaining approx. 44 % of the voting rights are attributable to
the existing shareholders who will remain important anchor investors of SLM
Solutions Group AG in the future.
