Heidelberger Druckmaschinen Aktiengesellschaft (“Heidelberg”) successfully placed senior unsecured convertible bonds (the "Bonds") within a few hours with a total issue volume of EUR 58.6 million. The Bonds were placed with domestic and international institutional investors outside of the US only.

Heidelberg will have the option to redeem all of the Bonds at their principal amount plus accrued interest on or after April 20, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds, if the value of the underlying Shares exceeds 130 % of the Bonds’ principal amount over a specified period. Holders of the Bonds will have the option to require an early redemption of their Bonds on March 30, 2020 at their principal amount plus accrued interest.

Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Commerzbank and LBBW acted as Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Managers for the offering of the Bonds. DZ Bank and IKB Deutsche Industriebank acted as Co-Lead Managers.

Subsequent to the planned issuance and the partial redemption of the high yield bond, Heidelberg’s financing structure will basically consist of a syndicated credit line totaling around EUR 277 million with a term until mid- 2017, a convertible bond in the amount of EUR 60 million maturing in mid-2017, a high-yield bond of around EUR 300 million with a maturity until April 2018 and the new convertible bond of up to EUR 58.6 million maturing March 2022.
