We regard this as a strong signal of confidence in the strategy being pursued by Symrise and in the planned acquisition of the Diana Group. With the capital increase we have successfully completed the first element of the refinancing of the acquisition within a very short time," said Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram, Chairman of the Executive Board of Symrise AG. The capital increase from authorized capital was made on the basis of the authorization of the Executive Board approved by the Annual General Meeting dated 14 May 2013 and excluding pre-emptive rights. It is scheduled for entry in the Commercial Register on 15 May 2014. The capital increase will raise the share capital of Symrise AG from EUR 118,173,300 to EUR 129,323,300. The new shares will be eligible for a dividend from 1 January 2015. They are expected to be admitted for trading on the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 19 May 2014 while at the same time being admitted to the Prime Standard.

Subject to registration of the implementation of the capital increase in the Company Register, Symrise will receive gross proceeds amounting to around EUR 400 million. These funds will be used to partially finance the acquisition of the Diana Group announced on 12 April 2014.
