The new bond will have an issue volume of EUR 50 million, which is to be used to refinance the existing bond 2019/2024 (ISIN: NO0010851728; WKN: A2TSCH). The new bond is planned to have a term of five years and a coupon of between 6.5% and 7.5% p.a. The final coupon will be fixed – on the basis of the subscription orders received – in the course of the offer period and be announced by way of a pricing decision at the end of the offer period. The issue will take place in the context of a public offer in Luxembourg and Germany and will comprise a voluntary exchange offer to holders of the existing bond 2019/2024. The voluntary exchange offer is scheduled to commence on 16 June 2023 and to end on 28 June 2023, 18:00 h CET. For each exchanged bond 2019/2024 in the nominal amount of EUR 1,000, holders will receive a new bond 2023/2028 with a principal amount of EUR 1,000 plus an exchange premium of EUR 2.30 per exchanged bond 2019/2024 plus accrued interest. In addition, bondholders participating in the exchange offer will have the option to purchase additional bonds. The company will redeem the existing bond 2019/2024 – unless exchanged for the new bond 2023/2028 – at the latest three months after the issue date of the new bond by exercising the existing call option. In the context of the public offer, the subscription period via the subscription function of Deutsche Börse is scheduled to run from 21 June 2023 until presumably 30 June 2023, 12:00 CET (subject to early closing). The new bond 2023/2028 will also be offered in Germany, Luxembourg and certain other countries by way of a private placement. The new bond is expected to be listed on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is also planned to have the new bond listed in the Nordic ABM segment of the Oslo Stock Exchange within six months from the issue date. Pareto Securities AS, Frankfurt Branch, will act as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner for the issue. Established issuer with resilient business model and focus on promising growth segments “Thanks to its diversified and resilient business model, the HÖRMANN Group has successfully mastered the challenging market environment of the past three years,” says Michael Radke, CEO of HÖRMANN Industries GmbH. “At the same time, we have focused the Group on further promising growth segments characterised by high earnings potential. We are benefiting from a number of megatrends, such as mobility, urbanisation and digitalisation, which bracket our divisions – Automotive, Communication, Intralogistics and Engineering – and encourage us to continue innovating for sustainable business development.” In the fiscal year 2022, the HÖRMANN Group generated sales of EUR 685.7 million (previous year:EUR 589.8 million) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 23.7 million (previous year: EUR 30.0 million). The Automotive and Communication Divisions, as well as the Intralogistics Division, which was established last year, recorded strong sales growth. Despite the difficult economic environment, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 35.3 million (previous year: EUR 45.3 million). The bottom line was a clearly positive consolidated net profit of EUR 12.2 million (previous year: EUR 14.4 million). The Group’s equity base amounted to EUR 136.4 million as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 131.1 million), which corresponds to a comfortable equity ratio of 37.4% (31 December 2021: 38.4%). “As a family-owned company with more than 60 years of history, we rely on a stable and diversified financing structure. This also includes corporate bonds, which have proven their worth for over 10 years,” says Johann Schmid-Davis, CFO of HÖRMANN Industries GmbH. “As a recognised and established issuer, we are once again offering our existing and new bondholders the opportunity to participate in the successful expansion of our growth segments and the sustainable further development of our business model while benefiting from the attractive interest rate of the HÖRMANN bond 2023/2028.” The prospectus is available for download at https://www.hoermann-gruppe.com/en/investor-relations/ and https://www.bourse.lu.
