Linz (pta023/21.08.2017/15:45) - S&T AG (www.snt.at) reports the successful conclusion of the merger of Kontron AG into S&T AG's subsidiary S&T Deutschland Holding AG. This was achieved by the entry today in the registry of companies in Munich of S&T Deutschland Holding AG (under the number "HRB 227648"). This entry followed that of Kontron AG on August 17, 2017 in the registry of companies in Augsburg (under the number "HRB 28913").

The completion of the merger caused the delisting of the stock of Kontron AG, whose shareholders are to immediately become those of S&T Deutschland Holding AG, which is not publicly listed and which is to be renamed Kontron S&T AG. The company's headquarters are to be in Augsburg.

These moves constitute the preconditions for the launching of the previously-announced capital increase for consideration to be undertaken by S&T AG. S&T AG resolved to make the following offer to the new shareholders of S&T Deutschland Holding AG, which has been entered in the registry of companies in Munich, Germany under the number "HRB 227648": the shareholders are to consign their newly-acquired shares in this company into S&T AG shares. This offer is designed to enable former shareholders of Kontron to deposit into S&T AG their shares of S&T Deutschland Holding AG, which is currently not publicly listed. This depositing is to be accompanied by the granting to these shareholders of newly-created shares in S&T AG, which is publicly listed. To achieve this, the rights of subscription held by S&T AG's shareholders are to be excluded. For purposes of simplification of transaction, those entitled to subscribe are to transfer their shares in S&T Deutschland Holding AG (ISIN DE000A2BPK83/WKN A2B PK8.) indirectly - via SMC Investmentbank AG - to S&T AG. These shares thus constitute the consideration necessitating the capital increase in the latter. This transfer is to have taken contractual effect on 1.1.2017.
