Hornbach Familien-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH has successfully completed the private placement of 1,000,000 non-par ordinary bearer shares in Hornbach Holding AG & Co. KGaA by way of an accelerated book building process. The transaction was announced yesterday, October 22, 2015. The secondary placement met with very great interest on the capital market. “We assess the result of this transaction as a great success, one that also reflects investors’ confidence in the Hornbach Group’s sustainable growth strategy. We saw great demand in particular from value-driven institutional investors, who will now significantly broaden the KGaA’s shareholder base. This can also be expected to impact positively on stock market trading volumes with the Holding shares”, commented Albrecht Hornbach, Managing Director of Hornbach Familien-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH. Via the family trust company, the founding family now directly and indirectly holds a 43.75% stake in the share capital (previously: 50%).
