gamigo AG: Early repayment of 2013/2018 bond is testament to positive operating performance
DGAP-News: gamigo AG / Key word(s): Bond Corporate News Hamburg, 4th July 2017 – gamigo AG (“gamigo”, bond SIN: A1TNJY) has repaid its 2013/2018 bond issued in 2013 early, as previously announced (see news dated 30 May 2017). The repayment was made on 3rd July 2017, at 101.50 percent of the nominal amount pursuant to the bond’s terms. As of this date, interest for the completed quarter has also been paid on time. Against the backdrop of the gamigo group’s positive financial performance and the positive cash flow generated by it, gamigo AG and Unicredit Bank AG reached agreement on a loan including substantial lines of credit. A financing plan was developed together with Unicredit Bank which enables both early repayment of the bond and the funding of gamigo’s growth strategy, including additional acquisitions. The agreement also considerably reduces interest payments to be made by gamigo AG. Remco Westermann, CEO of gamigo AG, said: “The early repayment of our corporate bond, which had a relatively high coupon of 8.5 percent p.a., is testament to our strong operating performance in recent years, during which we steadily expanded our revenue and market position as Europes & America’s leading gaming platform provider and positioned gamigo as a profitable, high-growth company. In the past twelve months, the pace of our growth has further accelerated as a result of the acquisition of Aeria Games, a former subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1. Not all of our investors might have expected such a performance at the time we issued our bond.” gamigo AG now has alternative funding options at its disposal, which the company intends to utilize for further strategic growth. The significant revenue and earnings growth also allows gamigo to make additional acquisitions from its current cash flow in line with its buy and build strategy.
