DEAG: First investor announces conversion of bonds into new shares

Berlin, 10 April 2019 - DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (DEAG), Berlin, (ISIN: DE000A0Z23G6 | Ticker symbol: ERMK), informs that the first investor has announced to convert eight bonds (ISIN DE000A2AAX86) with a total par value of EUR 800,000.00 into new no-par value ordinary bearer DEAG shares (hereinafter "shares"). Based on the conversion rate of EUR 3.50 in the bond terms, this is the equivalent of 228,571 shares. Conversion of the bonds into shares is thus effective.

In June 2016, DEAG successfully launched a convertible bond issue with a total par value of EUR 5.7 million, and an interest rate of 6.00% in a private placement. By June 2018 EUR 1.4 million of the principal amount had been retired, leaving convertible bonds with a par value of EUR 4.3 million due on 30.06.2019. With the conversion statement, around 19% of this outstanding amount shall now be converted into new DEAG shares. The Executive Board of DEAG thanks the investor for their trust in the company. DEAG aims to use the funds released by the bond conversion to finance further internal and external growth.
