Berlin, 24 June 2019 - DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (DEAG), Berlin, listed in the Prime Standard, ISIN: DE000A0Z23G6, Ticker: ERMK, announces to increase its bond 2018/2023 (ISIN: DE000A2NBF25) by EUR 5 million.

The bond with a volume of EUR 20 million was placed with institutional investors from Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland in October 2018. It has an interest coupon of 6.00% p.a. and a term of 5 years. The proceeds from the bond will be used to finance growth in the core markets while simultaneously optimising the financing structure. In addition to internal growth, DEAG also plans to further expand externally. For example, the company recently acquired a stake in ally4ever Entertainment, C² CONCERTS, I-Motion GmbH as well as in the Swiss Group of companies of Michael Drieberg, thereby gaining access to further attractive markets.

Since its issue, the 2018/2023 bond has enjoyed very high demand and is continuously quoted at prices well above par. With the planned increase of EUR 5 million, DEAG intends to push ahead with its strategy. The company has mandated IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, Düsseldorf ("IKB") which had already accompanied the issue in October 2018, to carry out the increase.
