The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- paragon AG passes resolution to increase capital: up to 411,478 new shares will be issued, with subscription rights excluded Delbrück, Germany, October 4, 2016 - With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board of paragon AG (ISIN DE0005558696) has today resolved to increase the company's share capital by issuing up to 411,478 new no-par-value bearer shares from authorized capital 2016/I in exchange for a cash contribution and to exclude shareholders' subscription rights. The new shares will carry dividend rights as of January 1, 2016. As part of a private placement by means of an accelerated book-building process, the plan is to offer the new shares to qualified and other investors in accordance with the applicable exemption provisions governing domestic and foreign private placements. Majority shareholder and company founder Klaus Dieter Frers, who sits on the Management Board, has signed a subscription declaration agreement with the company to subscribe for new shares as part of the accelerated book- building process, thus safeguarding the majority interest of Klaus Dieter Frers in the future. The private placement begins on October 4, 2016, and is set to end on October 5, 2016. Upon completion of the accelerated book-building process, the company's Management Board will, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, pass a separate resolution on the placement price of the new shares - which will not be significantly below the share price of the paragon AG share - and the issue volume, and make final announcements in both matters. paragon AG intends to use the cash flow generated from the capital increase to continue the company's course of growth, especially in the Electromobility division, and to maintain a solid balance sheet structure in the long term. The transaction will be supported by Hauck & Aufhäuser as sole global coordinator and sole bookrunner. Disclaimer: THIS PUBLICATION IS A MANDATORY NOTIFICATION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 17 MAR.
