ADO Properties S.A. successfully places EUR 165 million convertible bonds

ADO Properties S.A. ("ADO Properties", the "Company") announces the successful placement of EUR 165 million senior, unsecured convertible bonds due 23 November 2023 (the "Bonds") convertible into new and/or existing ordinary registered shares of ADO Properties.

The initial conversion price has been set at EUR 60.5690, which represents a 27.5% premium over the reference share price on the pricing date. The reference share price of EUR 47.5051 is equal to the volume-weighted average share price of ADO Properties between opening and close on XETRA on 16 November 2018. The coupon has been set at 1.25% p.a., payable semi-annually in arrear on 23 May and 23 November, commencing on 23 May 2019. Settlement of the transaction will take place on or around 23 November 2018.

The Bonds were placed in an accelerated bookbuilding only with institutional investors.

ADO Group LTD, the main shareholder of the Company, received an allocation in the accelerated bookbuilding reflecting pro rata its current shareholding in the Company.

Rabin Savion, CEO of ADO Properties was pleased with the outcome of the transaction, stating, "This successful placement opens another funding source for us and improves our debt maturity profile by refinancing short term liabilities."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds to repay existing short term debt, extend the Company's debt maturity profile as well as to strengthen the Company's liquidity position.

HSBC acted as Sole Global Coordinator, and together with Barclays Bank PLC, as Joint Bookrunners in relation to the placement of the Bonds.
