Ad hoc announcement pursuant to § 15 WpHG: DF Deutsche Forfait AG – subscription offer deadline extended to 8 June

• Deadline extended for technical reasons

The Board of Management of DF Deutsche Forfait AG has decided to extend the subscription period for new shares under the current subscription offer for technical reasons from 2 June 2015, 24:00 h, to 8 June 2015, 24:00 h.

The offer is designed to increase the company’s share capital through the contribution of bonds held by the company’s bondholders (ISIN: DE000A1R1CC4, WKN A1R1CC) and involves the issue of up to 3,400,000 new registered shares.

The extension became necessary in light of the tight deadlines set by some depository banks in order to handle their internal process in a timely manner. These internal deadlines effectively curtailed the subscription period, leading to orders from bondholders not being processed. The deadline extension ensures that all interested bondholders are able to participate in the swap offer.

The subscription offer to the bondholders was published in the Federal Gazette and on the company’s website under https://www.dfag.de/investor-relations/anleihe on 18 May. The extension of the deadline will equally be published in the Federal Gazette.
