Endgültige Zuteilung der Wandelanleihe der Zur Rose im Betrag von etwa CHF 95 Mio.

Nach der erfolgreichen Platzierung und vorläufigen Zuteilung einer unbesicherten Wandelanleihe der Zur Rose Group AG (die "Gesellschaft" oder "Zur Rose Group") am 1. September 2022 im Betrag von etwa CHF 95 Mio. mit einer Fälligkeit im Jahr 2026 und nach Ablauf des Zeitraums zur Ausübung der Vorwegzeichnungsrechte am 12. September 2022 erfolgte heute die endgültige Zuteilung der Wandelanleihe. Details der endgültigen Zuteilung werden den teilnehmenden institutionellen Investoren heute mitgeteilt.

Bis zum 12. September 2022, 12:00 Uhr mittags MESZ wurden 1’993’560 Vorwegzeichnungsrechte durch dazu berechtigte Aktionäre ausgeübt. Dies entspricht 16'613 Wandelanleihen (etwa 17.5% des gesamten Ausgabevolumens im Betrag von etwa CHF 95 Mio.). Infolgedessen wurden die bisher vorläufig erfolgten Zuteilungen an die institutionellen Investoren, die am Bookbuilding-Verfahren am 1. September 2022 teilgenommen haben, pro rata gekürzt ("Clawback"). Im Ergebnis erhielten diese institutionellen Investoren eine endgültige Zuteilung von Wandelanleihen im Gesamtbetrag von etwa CHF 78.4 Mio., während anspruchsberechtigten Aktionären nach Ausübung ihrer Vorwegzeichnungsrechte Wandelanleihen im Gesamtbetrag von etwa CHF 16.6 Mio. endgültig zugeteilt wurden.

BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE und die UBS AG agierten als gemeinsame Bookrunner für die Wandelanleihe.

Baker McKenzie agierte als rechtliche Beraterin der Zur Rose Group.
