The new shares will be offered today for purchase to both, German and international institutional investors (excluding Canada, Japan and Australia) in a private placement with accelerated bookbuilding. The issue price will be set immediately after the accelerated bookbuilding, presumably on Thursday, 24 October 2013. The Company has applied for permission without a prospectus and for the new shares to be traded on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and at the same time to be included in the Prime Standard segment, as well as for trading on the regulated market of the Hamburg Stock Exchange. It is intended that the new shares will be included in the current listing on 28 October 2013. TOM TAILOR Holding AG intends to use the proceeds generated from the capital increase to consolidate its equity ratio, lower its debt-equity ratio and acquire shares in subsidiaries.
