Clôture de l'émission

Hochdorf, 28 mars 2017 - HOCHDORF Holding AG clôture avec succès l'émission d'un emprunt à conversion obligatoire. Le droit de souscription préférentiel a rencontré un succès particulier avec les actionnaires existants.

HOCHDORF Holding AG clôture avec succès l'émission d'un emprunt à conversion obligatoire d'un montant de CHF 218'490'000 conduite par la Neue Helvetische Bank en qualité de Lead Manager. Un montant de CHF 131'005'000 de l'emprunt à conversion obligatoire est consacré en partie pour régler le prix d'acquisition de la participation de 51% dans le capital des sociétés Pharmalys.

En outre les actionnaires ont souscrit par exercice des droits de souscription préférentiels 44.8% de l'emprunt à conversion obligatoire restant d'un montant de CHF 87'485'000. Les emprunts à conversion obligatoire qui n'étaient pas souscrits par les détenteurs des droits de souscription préférentiels ont été souscrits par ZMP Invest AG, Luzern (CHF 36.2 millions) et Innovent Holding AG, Wollerau, (CHF 12.1 millions).

L'admission provisoire au négoce à la SIX Swiss Exchange et le paiement interviendront probablement le 30 mars 2017.
