Deutsche Boerse Group: Successful Placement Of Deutsche Börse Shares - Private Placement Several Times Oversubscribed

The private placement of Deutsche Börse AG shares was successful: On Thursday all 9,042,880 million Deutsche Börse shares of the base deal where placed at a price of 44 Euro per share with institutional investors in Europe and the US. Deutsche Börse raised a total of around 400 million Euro before commissions and cost. Additionally, Deutsche Bank has been granted an over-allotment option (Greenshoe) for around 1.23 million shares, that can be exercised within 30 days. The private placement was several times oversubscribed.

Deutsche Börse will use the proceeds to partially finance the purchase price of 1.6 billion Euro for Cedel International and its 50 percent stake in Clearstream International. The remaining cash portion of the purchase price will be financed by liquid assets and, to a limited extent, by dept capital. An additional 180 million Euro of the purchase price - according to current statements - will be paid in Deutsche Börse shares coming from an additional capital increase out of the authorized share capital as reported earlier.
