Lübeck, Germany (pta018/05.05.2022/08:30) - SLM Solutions Group AG invites holders of the Convertible Bonds 2020/2026 to hold a vote without meeting on the offering and the issuance of a third tranche of convertible bonds in the amount of EUR 30.2 million

May 5, 2022. The Management Board of SLM Solutions Group AG ("SLM Solutions" or the "Company", ISIN DE000A111338 (Shares), DE000A2GSF58 (Convertible Bonds 2017/2024) and DE000A289N86 (Convertible Bonds 2020/2026)), with consent of the Supervisory Board, resolved to invite the holders of the EUR 15 million 2.00% convertible bonds issued by the Company in July 2020 (the "Convertible Bonds 2020/2026") to hold a vote without meeting to resolve on a waiver of the conditions precedent for the offering and the issuance of a third tranche of convertible bonds in the amount of EUR 30.2 million.

As already announced in January 2022, the main holder of the Convertible Bonds 2020/2026, Cornwall GmbH & Co. KG ("Cornwall"), a company advised by Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited and the Company's largest shareholder, has agreed to vote in favor of such a proposal. The Company therefore expects the resolution to be adopted by the required majority, so that a third tranche of convertible bonds can be offered for subscription to the holders of the Convertible Bonds 2020/2026 and issued presumably in June 2022.

The full placement of the offered convertible bonds is guaranteed pursuant to the financing agreement concluded between Cornwall and the Company in March 2020. Consequently, additional funds in the amount of EUR 30.2 million (gross) will be made available to the Company. The funds are intended to be used to fund the ongoing business operations and to continue the investments in strategically important projects such as the roll-out of the NXG XII 600.

The Company may consider additional financing options during the course of the year.
