TOMORROW FOCUS AG decides on capital increase
Munich, Germany, 6 February 2013 - The Management Board of TOMORROW FOCUS
AG (ISIN DE0005495329) took the decision today to draw on its authorised
capital in order to increase the company's total share capital by up to EUR
5,043,198 through an issue of up to 5,043,198 new notional no-par-value
bearer shares against cash contributions. On this occasion, existing
shareholders were not allowed to subscribe to the issue. The decision was
approved by the Supervisory Board. It is intended that the new shares will
be admitted for trading on the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange (FWB) and to the Prime Standard segment of the Regulated Market,
which imposes additional reporting obligations. A prospectus will not be
issued. The new shares carry dividend rights from 1 January 2012.
Berenberg Bank will offer the new shares to institutional investors in
Germany and elsewhere in Europe by means of a private placing. The
Management Board will specify the number of shares to be placed and the
issuing price following the completion of an accelerated bookbuilding
process by Berenberg Bank.
The income generated by the issue will be used to finance further
acquisitions and to increase the stake in companies in which a majority
shareholding is held.
On 21 December 2012, the company had previously decided on a capital
increase against contributions in kind as a means of financing the takeover
of netmoms GmbH. This has now been postponed in order to simplify and
complete the cash capital increase announced today and will then be subject
to a further resolution.
