PRESS RELEASE

CH-Regensdorf, March 9, 2018

Today, mobilezone is to publish the definitive conditions for its planned ordinary capital increase

At today's Extraordinary General Meeting, the board of directors of mobilezone holding ag will propose an increase in the share capital by issuing up to 8 585 516 new registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 per share.

These new registered shares will be offered to existing mobilezone shareholders (subject to certain restrictions under local laws applicable to shareholders) at a subscription price of CHF 9.50 per registered share. Existing shareholders will be granted subscription rights for each registered share that they hold after close of trading on 14 March 2018. 15 subscription rights entitle a shareholder to purchase 4 new registered shares. Assuming that the EGM approves the ordinary capital increase proposed by the board of directors, the period for exercising subscription rights is expected to begin on 15 March 2018 and end on 23 March 2018 at 12.00 p.m. (CET). Trading of subscription rights is expected to take place between 15 March 2018 and 21 March 2018 on the SIX Swiss Exchange. New registered shares that are not purchased as part of the offering of subscription rights are expected to be sold via the market. The decisive offering and listing prospectus for the offering of subscription rights is due to be published on 14 March 2018.

 

The gross proceeds expected from the capital increase of around CHF 80 million should serve to finance the acquisition of TPHCom (around CHF 58 million). The company will use the remainder of the gross proceeds to reinforce its financial flexibility for other potential medium-term corporate acquisitions.
