voxeljet AG (WKN: A1W556 ISIN: US92912L1070 Ticker: VJET New York Stock Exchange) today increased its capital through the partial use of its authorised capital approved by the ordinary shareholders at a meeting held on 30 May 2018, from EUR 3,720,000 by EUR 972,000 to EUR 4,692,000. In conjunction with the capital increase, the company is issuing new registered ordinary shares with attached dividend entitlements for the financial year 2018, which will be offered in the form of 4,860,000 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") at a price of USD 2.57 per ADS. This equals EUR 11.17 per ordinary share (based on the exchange rate as of the close of business in New York on the date of pricing), since each ADS represents one-fifth of an ordinary share. The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company intends to implement the capital increase in two tranches. As part of the main share tranche, 972,000 ordinary shares, in the form of 4,860,000 ADSs, are being issued. In addition, the transaction features an over-allotment option of up to an additional 144,000 ordinary shares, or 720,000 ADSs. If both tranches are sold, the company will increase its capital from EUR 3,720,000 by EUR 1,116,000 to EUR 4,836,000.
The gross proceeds from the first tranche of the capital increase amount to approximately USD 12.5 million (EUR 10.9 million). The company will receive the proceeds from the capital increase, less estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
