Voltabox AG IPO: Greenshoe Option fully exercised

Delbrück, Germany, October 17, 2017 - Voltabox AG (ISIN DE000A2E4LE9) has today been informed by Bankhaus Lampe KG, in its role as stabilization manager, that the joint bookrunners have exercised the greenshoe option granted by the company (the "greenshoe option") in full at a placement price of EUR 24.00 per share (less the agreed commission and costs).

To this end, the Management Board, with the agreement of the Supervisory Board, will, at short notice, approve an increase of EUR 825,000 in the company's share capital by issuing 825,000 new no-par-value shares with a notional share in capital of EUR 1.00 each. The shares will be issued from authorized capital, and the increase will be underwritten by the joint bookrunners. This will increase the share capital from its current level of EUR 15,000,000 to EUR 15,825,000. The joint bookrunners will use the new shares to return in full the securities loan of the same amount granted by paragon AG in view of potential over-allotments. The company will receive the proceeds from shares that have already been placed with investors.

The shares of Voltabox AG were listed on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) on October 13, 2017 under the symbol VBX, the ISIN DE000A2E4LE9 and the WKN A2E4LE.

Bankhaus Lampe KG acted as sole global coordinator of the IPO and as joint bookrunner alongside Hauck & Aufhäuser Privatbankiers AG.
