Basel, 16 May 2014 – Following the initial public offering (IPO) the shares of HIAG Immobilien Holding AG (HIAG Immobilien), which specializes in the redevelopment and long-term use of former industrial sites, will be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange today.

Based on the offer price of CHF 76.00 per share and 8'000'000 registered shares in issue upon completion of the IPO, HIAG Immobilien will have a market capitalization of around CHF 608.0 million. HIAG Immobilien shares will start trading today on SIX Swiss Exchange under ticker symbol HIAG.

Credit Suisse is acting as Sole Bookrunner for the IPO and Bank Vontobel AG as Co-Lead Manager.

The banking syndicate placed 1'000'000 newly issued shares from HIAG Immobilien's capital increase and 700'000 existing treasury shares, as well as 847'500 existing shares from the anchor shareholders Felix Grisard, Salome Grisard Varnholt and Andrea Grisard (Base Offer). The number of shares placed in the IPO corresponds to 31.84% of the shares in issue upon completion of the IPO and before the potential exercise of the over-allotment option.

The over-allotment option of up to 255'000 shares corresponds to 3.19% of the registered share capital of the company upon completion of the IPO, and some 10% of the base offer, and may be exercised by the banking consortium until and including 15 June 2014. Assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option, the total placement volume will be CHF 213.0 million and the anchor shareholders, as shareholders focused on a long-term investment in the company, will hold, both directly and indirectly, 63.09% of the total 8'000'000 registered shares of the company.

The anchor shareholders as well as the members of the board of directors and the management have signed a lock-up agreement for a period of 12 months, and HIAG Immobilien has agreed to a lock-up of 6 months starting from the first trading day, subject to the usual exemptions. Moreover, the anchor shareholders have underpinned their long-term commitment to the Company by signing a shareholders' agreement.

The IPO will generate new capital for HIAG Immobilien totaling CHF 122.9 million net. HIAG Immobilien intends to use the net proceeds from its IPO for ongoing development projects, to repay a bridge financing in the amount of CHF 30 million and to temporarily reduce the utilization of HIAG Immobilien's existing financial indebtedness. Moreover, the newly generated capital will help the company retain its flexibility for seizing acquisition opportunities.
