Constantin Medien AG: Full repayment of the existing corporate bond secured
Ismaning, March 22, 2018 - Constantin Medien AG today announced that the full repayment of the corporate bond 2013/2018 with a nominal value of EUR 65 million and a 7.0% coupon, due to expire on April 23, 2018, is guaranteed. With the approval of the Group Financing Special Committee of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board voted on March 22, 2018 to sell a total of 12,417,482 out of 20,600,000 Highlight Communications AG shares in its own portfolio at a price of EUR 5.20 per share to Highlight Event and Entertainment AG. This corresponds to a total value of EUR 64.57 million. The corresponding purchase agreement was signed by both parties on March 22, 2018.
Thus, the repayment of the existing corporate bond 2013/2018 is guaranteed. The interest incurred for the 2017/2018 period totalling approximately EUR 4.55 million will be paid from existing liquidity. The Group has therefore fully repaid all financial liabilities and is completely debt-free. The financial result will also considerably improve when taking into account the elimination of future dividends due to the sale of the Highlight Communications AG shares.
