Jena, December 12th, 2006. DEWB AG (Deutsche Effecten- und
Wechsel-Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG, ISIN DE0008041005) has today agreed to
purchase a 70.3 percent shareholding in KSW Microtec AG, Dresden, from the
Austrian Trierenberg Group. In future DEWB will consequently hold 100
percent of the shares in KSW Microtec AG.
The transaction will be concluded via a subsidiary of DEWB. A significant
part of the purchase price will be financed through a bank loan within the
framework of the leveraged buyout. The shareholding in KSW Microtec AG
already held by DEWB AG will also be sold to this subsidiary at the same
price.
‘This is an opportunity for us to buy into a leading RFID company at
attractive terms. With its excellent products and technologies KSW today
already has a significant share of the RFID inlays market’ said Falk Nuber,
Chairman of DEWB, commenting on the transaction. ‘Over the coming years the
company will grow by at least 30 percent. The new shareholder structure
will also provide the opportunity for an exit by way of an IPO.’
