In response to the many enquiries of shareholders and bond holders, the Management Board of KTG Energie AG (WKN A0HNG5; ISIN DE000A0HNG53) has stated that the company is not directly affected by the current discussions about the refinancing of KTG Agrar SE and that, in particular, KTG Energie AG bears no liability for the commitments of KTG Agrar SE. "As the major shareholder, KTG Agrar SE currently holds more than 50 percent of the shares in KTG Energie AG and, as before, continues to deliver the substrates for our biogas plants reliably and in accordance with the agreed fixed conditions", said Dr. Thomas Berger, CEO of KTG Energie AG. There was also no rational reason why this should change. In addition, since 31 October 2015, the last day of the financial year 2014/2015, KTG Energie AG had further reduced the liabilities to the parent company. "Moreover, the loan agreement with KTG Agarar SE would not allow for the liabilities to be called in for immediate payment", emphasized Berger. He sees a possibility of fully substituting the EUR 50 million bond (WKN: A1ML25 / ISIN: DE000A1ML257) which runs until September 2018 for a refinancing at a more favourable interest rate by 2017 at the latest. Berger: "Based on the current plant portfolio, we have already secured revenues of more than EUR 90 million and EBITDA of up to EUR 28 million in the current financial year. About KTG Energie AG KTG Energie AG is committed to an integrated, sustainable business model in which the production of renewable commodities does not compete with foodstuff production. With 85 employees at the end of 2015, KTG Energie AG operated biogas plants with a total capacity of more than 60 MW, which both feed processed biogas directly into the natural gas grid and use biogas for power production. From fiscal year 2015/2016, this will result in a secured sales base of up to EUR90 million and an EBITDA base of up to EUR28 million. Contact: Investor Relations / Press Tobias M.
