The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Göttelborn, Germany, April 19, 2017. Nanogate AG, a leading global specialist for design-oriented high-tech surfaces and components, has strengthened its equity. The gross proceeds of issue amount to around EUR 14.2 million.

As part of the capital increase, Nanogate AG's share capital has been increased from EUR 4,176,180.00 by EUR 337,771.00 to EUR 4,513,951.00 by issuing 337,771 new no-par-value shares via partial utilization of the existing authorized capital against contribution in cash. The subscription rights of existing shareholders have been excluded. The new shares were privately placed with selected, qualified and long-term institutional investors at a price of EUR 42.00 per share using a fixed-price procedure. As a result of the significantly oversubscribed capital increase, the company will receive gross proceeds of issue amounting to some EUR 14.2 million. The new shares shall be entitled to a dividend from the 2017 fiscal year. Accordingly, a request will be made to enter the capital increase into the commercial register at Saarbrücken district court and to include the new shares in trading in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's Scale segment. With the capital measure, Nanogate AG is taking full advantage of the current authorization of the shareholders' meeting for capital increases from authorized capital against contribution in cash with the exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights.

Nanogate intends to finance additional technologies and capacities for its planned growth with the revenue from the capital increase. The cash inflow is also to partially contribute to refinancing the acquisition of around 80 % of the shares in Jay Plastics (now Nanogate Jay Systems), a division of Jay Industries, Inc., which was concluded in January 2017. The capital increase is being accompanied by Hauck & Aufhäuser Privatbankiers KGaA and M.M. Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA.
