DGAP-News: ams AG / Key word(s): Delisting/Mergers & Acquisitions ams AG: ams announces start of acceptance period of Delisting Offer for OSRAM 21.05.2021 / 08:40 The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION ams announces start of acceptance period of Delisting Offer for OSRAM Four week acceptance period to run from today, 21 May, to 18 June 2021 Attractive offer price of EUR 52.30 per OSRAM share Significant premium to cash compensation under DPLTA and previous takeover offer Closing of Delisting Offer not subject to any conditions Thereafter, OSRAM shares will terminate trading on the regulated market Premstätten, Austria (21 May 2021) -- ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announces the publication of the offer document for the public delisting offer for the remaining approx. 28% shares in OSRAM Licht AG ("OSRAM") following the approval by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority ("BaFin", Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) ("Delisting Offer"). OSRAM shareholders are now able to accept the Delisting Offer during a four week acceptance period which expires on 18 June 2021 at midnight (CEST). The offer price of EUR 52.30 per OSRAM share represents a 1% premium to the volume weighted average share price of OSRAM during the last six months before the announcement of the Delisting Offer on 3 May 2021 (EUR 52.02 as determined by BaFin). In addition, it represents a premium of 28% to the offer price of the successful takeover offer in 2019 (EUR 41.00), and a premium of 15% to the cash compensation offered to the remaining OSRAM shareholders in relation to the domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (EUR 45.54). "We are taking the next step in the integration of OSRAM which started only two and a half months ago," said Alexander Everke, CEO of ams. "We encourage all remaining OSRAM shareholders to accept our financially attractive offer, prior to the OSRAM listing being removed from the regulated markets. Following the Delisting Offer, we intend to accelerate our integration activities to deliver on our strategy to create a global leader in optical solutions, headquartered in Europe." The Delisting Offer will not be extended and is not subject to any conditions. The termination of the OSRAM listing from the regulated market is expected to become effective in due course after the end of the acceptance period of the Delisting Offer and will be independent of the eventual tender rate under the Delisting Offer. The delisting can likely result in a very limited liquidity and price availability for the OSRAM shares from that point in time onwards. The German version of the offer document (together with a non-binding English translation which has not been reviewed by BaFin) is now available online at www.offer-ams-osram.com, as well as for distribution free of charge in the Federal Republic of Germany by UBS Europe SE, Bockenheimer Landstrasse 2-4, D-60306 Frankfurt, Deutschland, fax [phone], email [e-mail]. Further information in relation to the Delisting Offer will be made available at www.offer-ams-osram.com. ### About ams OSRAM group The ams Group, including the listed companies ams AG as parent company and OSRAM Licht AG, is a global leader in optical solutions.
