On 20 October 2021 the Company's Management Board therefore resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board of the same day, to implement the capital increase against cash contributions out of the authorized capital 2019/I with subscription and oversubscription rights of the Company's shareholders resolved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board on 27 September 2021 in full. As part of the capital increase, 1,500,000 new no-par value bearer shares in aap with a pro rata amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00 each and with dividend rights from 1 January 2021 ("New Shares") will thus be issued. All of the shares offered as part of the subscription offer were thus subscribed by shareholders or placed with investors by way of private placement.
 

The capital increase with subscription rights raises aap's share capital by EUR 1,500,000.00 from the current EUR 3,478,243.00 to EUR 4,978,243.00. The New Shares were issued at a subscription price of EUR 3.30. Consequently, the capital measure results in gross issue proceeds of EUR 4.95 million, of which the Company will receive net inflows of approximately EUR 4.8 million in the short term after deduction of consulting fees and other costs.
 

The issue proceeds from the transaction shall be used to finance the planned sales growth with a focus on the USA (especially investments in sets) and the start of the human clinical study for aap's antibacterial silver coating technology in the fourth quarter of 2021.
