- Quasi ad hoc announcement in accordance with sec. 19 par. 1 c) of the
General Terms and Conditions of Deutsche Börse AG for the Regulated
Unofficial Market (Open Market) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange -
Frankfurt - The Executive Board of FinTech Group AG has announced today the
successful placement of 1,399,528 new shares at EUR 9,35/share to German
and international institutional investors. Total proceeds are EUR 13.1
million. The new shares were issued from the company's authorized capital
and correspond to roughly 10 per cent of the company's registered capital.
Hauck & Aufhäuser Privatbankiers acted as Sole Bookrunner for the
transaction.
The new shares will shortly be included in trading in the Open Market of
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Entry Standard) and will be entitled to
participate in dividends with effect from 1 January 2014.
"The successful and well oversubscribed capital increase demonstrates the
confidence major investors have in our strategy," says Frank Niehage, CEO
of FinTech Group AG. "The proceeds will be primarily used to finance the
acquisition of a majority shareholding in XCOM Group. With this
acquisition, we will become one of the largest financial services
technology companies in Europe with two business pillars: third-party
transaction and outsourcing/insourcing business for banks and financial
services companies, and our online retail banking business, operating under
our own brands. There is an enormous complementarity between the two
companies, and I expect combined revenues to exceed EUR 100 million already
in 2015, with a combined EBT of more than EUR 15 million, followed by
significant further growth in the years to come. I therefore see a bright
future for our customers, employees and shareholders."
