Notice concerning Raising of Funds by Second Series of Perpetual Subordinated Loan

DMG MORI CO., LTD. (hereinafter "the Company") hereby announces that it has today entered into an agreement relating to raising funds of a total of JPY 37 billion by Second Series of perpetual subordinated loan (hereinafter "the subordinated loan") as detailed below.

1. Purpose of Fund Raising

Since the Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement with DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

(hereinafter "AG") came into effect in 2016(*1), the Company is obliged to purchase AG shares from external shareholders.

The Company purchased AG shares from major external shareholders from March to April 2020. In order to renew the interest-bearing debt the Company owed to purchase AG shares without diluting the stock, and to strengthen the mid- to long-term financial stability, the Company decided to raise funds by the subordinated loan.

The subordinated loan is classified as "Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Equity" under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as no specific date is specified for repayment of the principal, and repayment at the Company's discretion as well as optional deferral of interest payments are possible. The amount to be raised from the subordinated loan is to be recorded 100% under "Equity" in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Based on the Overview of Subordinated Loan presented below, it is planned that 50% of the amount raised will be evaluated as equity credit similar to equity instruments by Rating and Investment Information, Inc.

Depending on the market environment going forward, the Company also considers raising funds through issuing perpetual subordinated bonds with equivalent equity credit evaluation as the subordinated loan.
