Ringmetall uses successful capital increase for further acquisitions

- Placement of 2,288,000 new shares at EUR 2.20 per share

- Gross proceeds of EUR 5.0 million

- Acquisition of minority stakes of Italian subsidiary S.G.T.

Munich, 15 July 2016 - Ringmetall AG (ISIN: DE0006001902), ), an internationally leading specialist in the packaging industry, today successfully concluded its capital increase, excluding subscription rights of existing shareholders, with a volume of EUR 5.0 million. The share allotment was scaled down as the transaction was several times oversubscribed.

'Subsequently to our Germany roadshow last week, numerous investors indicated high interest in acquiring larger bocks of shares of Ringmetall', Christoph Petri, spokesperson of the Managing Board of Ringmetall Group, explains. 'On the one hand the Managing Board decided for the transaction to increase the attractiveness of the Ringmetall share among institutional investors due to the now increased free float. On the other hand we immediately used parts of the cash injection for a smaller acquisition.'

Against the background of the capital increase conducted, Ringmetall AG increased its stake in its Italian subsidiary S.G.T. of so far 51 percent to 80 percent. The remaining 20 percent stay in the hands of the management of the subsidiary. The parties have agreed to keep the purchase price confidential. 'We were able to further increase our stake in S.G.T. at economically attractive conditions. At the same time, with the further stake remaining with the management, a stronger bonding of management capacities to our group of companies is ensured', Petri underlines.

The Managing Board of Ringmetall Group plans to use the currently attractive market environment for another acquisition of smaller extent during the course of the year. It is intended to ensure, that no acquisition related extraordinary effects occur in the course of financial reporting.
