MS Industrie AG: Corporate Bond Issue

München (pta015/13.09.2022/10:00 UTC+2)

Munich, September 13th, 2022. The Management Board of MS Industrie AG (WKN 585518; ISIN DE0005855183) has decided, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue a corporate bond to further finance organic growth. Capital market support is provided by mwb fairtrade Wertpapierhandelsbank AG.

The issue of the corporate bond is aimed at institutional investors by way of a so-called Private Placement and has a volume of up to EUR 20 million with a term of 5 years. The coupon will be 6.25% p.a. with interest paid semi-annually. Various mechanisms are provided to safeguard and protect the interests of investors. The repayment at the end of the term can – alternatively or alongside the operative cash flows of the coming years – be supported by the sale of non-strategic real estate property. The bond is intended to broaden the refinancing base of MS Industrie Group and increase its long-term portion.

The positive development of the operational business is presented in the half-year report 2022 of MS Industrie AG; sales and all key earnings figures increased significantly compared to the previous year. The forecast for the whole financial year 2022 was again confirmed with sales growth to around EUR 200 million (previous year: EUR 164 million), i.e. by over +20%. This is underlined by the order backlog of around EUR 131 million as of June 30, 2022. In addition, there is clear visibility for the following years with a total customer contract volume of around EUR 845 million as a single-source supplier in the MS Powertrain Technology segment over the entire term of the planned bond.
