Social Chain AG resolves Capital Increase

- Issue of up to 1,145,324 new shares

- Berenberg acts as Sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner for the placement

Berlin, 23 November 2021. The Management Board of Social Chain AG (ISIN:DE000A1YC996) today resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by up to 10 percent. The funds are to be used primarily for the partial financing of the acquisition of DS Holding GmbH (DS Group). Bankhaus Berenberg is acting as Sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner for the capital increase. ABN AMRO and Quirin Privatbank supported the transaction as Joint Bookrunners.

The capital increase will be carried out against cash contributions with partial use of the existing authorised capital. The registered share capital of the Company will be increased from EUR 11,453,247.00 to up to EUR 12,598,571.00 by issuing up to 1,145,324 new registered shares with a notional value of EUR 1.00 per share. The new shares will be offered exclusively to institutional investors in a private placement excluding shareholders' subscription rights. The accelerated bookbuilding process was launched today.

When announcing the takeover of DS Group, Social Chain AG had already communicated the possibility of a cash capital increase as part of the purchase price payment (ad hoc announcement dated 19 October 2021). The DS Group is an internationally operating brand and trading company. After completion of the integration, Social Chain AG expects total revenue of over EUR 620 million (pro forma consolidated) in the 2021 financial year. The newly formed company employs 1,400 people and has a total of 18 global locations, including Berlin, the Hamburg metropolitan region, Munich, London, Manchester, New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong.
