On 16 May 2014, the HIAG Immobilien shares were traded on SIX Swiss Exchange for the first time. Credit Suisse decided on 12 June 2014 to partially exercise the over-allotment option. The 81'974 shares covering the over-allotment option are sourced from the anchor shareholders Felix Grisard, Salome Grisard Varnholt and Andrea Grisard and were placed in the market at CHF 76.00 per share.
Including the shares placed in connection with the over-allotment option, a total of 2'629'474 shares were sold in the IPO of HIAG Immobilien, representing 32.87% of today's issued share capital. The total placement volume therefore amounts to approximately CHF 199.8 million.
After the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the anchor shareholders hold, both directly and indirectly, 65.26% 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.
Credit Suisse acted as Sole Bookrunner for the IPO and Bank Vontobel AG as Co-Lead Manager.
