supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces that it expects to hold
an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") around the end of October 2019 to
approve the equity issuance in conjunction with the all-cash takeover offer for
OSRAM Licht AG ("OSRAM") published on 3 September 2019 ("Offer"). The invitation
to the EGM will be published in due course, including further details on the
proposed EUR 1.5 billion equity issuance to partially refinance the EUR 4.2
billion acquisition bridge facility in conjunction with the Offer.
This decision reflects the positive feedback ams has received from shareholders
and investors during a global investor roadshow over the last two weeks. Based
on extensive interaction with investors in Europe, the US and Asia, ams sees
strong support for its strategic vision including OSRAM which is reinforcing
ams' conviction for the Offer.
Capitalising on this positive momentum, ams intends to lower the acceptance
threshold of the Offer to 62.5% from the previous 70% to de-risk the Offer
reflecting further analysis of OSRAM's shareholder base, and achieve success
sooner. ams continues to encourage all OSRAM shareholders to tender into the
Offer. All other terms and conditions of the Offer remain unchanged and the
Offer is due to expire on 1 October 2019 at midnight (CEST).
