Ternitz, 29.3.2005. - The capital increase of SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN
Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) involving 3 million new shares and the
Secondary Public Offering of 1.16 million shares from the stock of
Berndorf AG has been completed successfully. The subscription and
offer price was defined at EUR 18 per share. The amount of
outstanding shares increased to a total of 16 million shares. Due to
the capital increase and the sale of 1.16 million shares from the
stock of Berndorf AG the free-float rises to 61% of the nominal
capital. After the over allotment option (Greenshoe) will be fully
exercised, the free float will increase to 64 %.
The proceeds from the capital increase reached approximately EUR 54
Mio.
The proceeds for SBO will be used to finance a strategic investment
programme with a volume of roughly EUR 100 M, which will be executed
by 2007. The programme consists of organic growth following the
expected strong demand in the oilfield service industry. Furthermore
acquisitions and additional locations in oil drilling regions will be
established, as for example in Sibiria.
The subscription and offer periode closed on March 25th 2005. The
book was four times subscribed. The shares were predominantly placed
with institutional investors in Austria and Europe, while the
interest from private investors was equally high. The exercise of
subscription rights was highly satisfactory. The subscription and
offer price was defined via a book-building procedure. The new shares
are expected to be listed in the Prime Market, ATX segment at the
Vienna stock exchange (Wiener Boerse) from April 1st 2005 onwards.
