- Capital Increase of 3.0 mn EUR against contributions in kind
- Reduction of liabilities by 7.0 mn EUR
Today, UET United Electronic Technology AG (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Eschborn,
announces that it has signed an agreement to simplify and strengthen the
holding structure and equity as well as the reduction of liabilities with
the existing shareholders and minority shareholders.
Palace Park Ltd., the existing shareholder of UET AG and minority
shareholder of UET Electronic Holding GmbH, where it holds a 49 % stake,
subscribed a capital increase of 3.0 mn EUR through a contribution in kind.
Palace Park Ltd. will transfer their shares held in UET Electronic Holding
GmbH, which is part of the UET group, to UET AG in exchange of newly issued
shares. Consequently, the UET AG becomes the sole shareholder of the UET
Electronic Holding GmbH and thus indirectly also the sole shareholder of
ELCON Systemtechnik, NewTal Elektronik + Systeme, SUCONI Service and Letron
Electronic.
In order to reduce corporate liabilities, the UET Group buys back the
shareholder loans from the existing shareholders Palace Park Ltd. and
FIGLIO Beteiligungsverwaltung, including all accrued and unpaid interests,
in total 7.0 mn EUR for a purchase price of 1.0 EUR each. The transaction
will be performed by a UET Group subsidiary. The liabilities within the
group thereby will be reduced by 7.0 mn EUR.
This transaction significantly strengthens and simplifies the structure of
the UET group.
In a further step, the operating companies ALBIS Technologies and ELCON
Systemtechnik can now be better integrated operationally enabling further
synergies.
As a next step, it is planned to raise additional new capital. The actual
transaction supports, enables and contributes as a necessary preparation
measure.
The capital increase through contribution in kind will use the existing
authorized capital. The closing of the capital increase is scheduled for
the fourth quarter of 2016.
