Boerse Stuttgart's Bondm Initiative For SMEs - New Bond In The SME Segment Bondm - Investors Can Subscribe To ‘Sun Bond I’ Of SOLARWATT AG At The Issue Price

Date 19/10/2010

Yet another new offering is to be added to Boerse Stuttgart's SME segment Bondm: from 19 October 2010 investors will have the opportunity of subscribing to the new bond from SOLARWATT AG. The new offering from SOLARWATT AG has an issuing volume of EUR 25 million, a coupon of 7 percent and matures in 2015. It is the first bond from the solar industry to be listed in the Bondm segment of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange. Private investors can purchase the bond, which is denominated in nominal units of EUR 1,000, at the issue price, either by issuing a respective buy order to their house bank, through Boerse Stuttgart or via the issuer's website.

"We are pleased that our SME segment, Bondm, has been so well accepted by issuers and investors alike. In this segment it is important for us as the Stuttgart Stock Exchange to set transparency standards for issuers to follow during the issuance process in both the primary and the secondary market. That way we make individual investment decisions easier for investors, both at the time when they subscribe to an offering and later when the bond is traded on the stock exchange," says Ralph Danielski, Deputy CEO of the Management Board of Boerse Stuttgart Holding GmbH. At the end of the subscription period, which will – foreseeably - close on 29 October 2010, the bond will be admitted to Boerse Stuttgart's Bondm segment and regular market trading.
