Deutsche Rohstoff AG has successfully completed the placement of its corporate bond 2023/2028 (ISIN DE000A3510K1) with an issue volume of EUR 100 million. The volume is composed of subscriptions in the public offering and the institutional private placement as well as the exchange of the corporate bond 2019/2024 (ISIN DE000A2YN3Q8) into the new bond of Deutsche Rohstoff AG. Due to the high demand, the volume was significantly oversubscribed.

The exchange offer to creditors of the corporate bond 2019/2024 for the new bond was in high demand and exchange offer subscriptions were fully allocated. Approximately 50% of the excess subscription was allocated.

The transaction was executed by ICF BANK AG Wertpapierhandelsbank as sole lead manager/sole bookrunner.

Deutsche Rohstoff AG will exercise its right to call and redeem the outstanding volume of the bond 2019/2024 (ISIN DE000A2YN3Q8) in the amount of 50% of its nominal value in accordance with section 5 (3) of the bond terms and conditions 2019/2024.
