NOT FOR DIRECT OR INDIRECT PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES
UMS AG: Public Buyback Offer Ends - 1.460.363 Shares Tendered - Share
Buyback Offer Oversubscribed by a Factor of 3
Hamburg, January 29, 2015. By the conclusion of the offering period on
January 27, 2015, a total of 1.460.363 shares were tendered to UMS United
Medical Systems International AG, Hamburg (ISIN DE 0005493654 / WKN 549365)
as part of the public buyback offer for the Company's shares. The offer was
made for up to 475,766 of the Company's shares. As a result, the buyback
offer was oversubscribed by a factor of 3.
Accordingly, not all of the shares tendered at the offer price of EUR 10.50
can be purchased. The Management Board has resolved, with the Supervisory
Board's approval, to consider acceptance forms on a proportional basis, in
accordance with the principles set forth in Section 3.5 of the Offering
Circular of December 15, 2014.
Payment of the purchase price for the UMS shares acquired in the course of
the buyback offer is expected to be made to shareholders on February 5,
2015. The UMS shared tendered for buyback that are not purchased by the
Company on a proportional basis are expected to be rebooked to the original
ISIN DE0005493654 / WKN 549365 on February 5, 2015.
After complete acceptance and implementation of the buyback offer, UMS
United Medical Systems International AG will hold 475,766 of its own
shares. This corresponds to approximately 10% of the Company's share
capital. The Management Board intends to cancel the shares that are
acquired.
The buyback offer is not and will not be distributed directly or indirectly
in the United States of America. Therefore, the offering circular cannot be
published, sent, distributed or circulated in the United States of America,
whether through the mails or any other means or instrumentalities of
interstate commerce or foreign trade or the facilities of a national stock
exchange of the United States of America. This includes without limitation
facsimile transmission, electronic mail, telex, telephone and the Internet.
Accordingly, copies of this offer and any documentation relating to the
offer should not be sent or transmitted to or in the United States. Any
acceptance forms that directly or indirectly violate the foregoing
restrictions, including forms from shareholders located, residing or
domiciled in the United States, will not be accepted by the Company.
