AdIiINK Internet Media soon to be
listed on Neuer Markt United Internet shareholders have advance
subscription right
The AdLINK Internet Media AG, a member company of the United
Internet network, is scheduled to be floated on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange's Neuer Markt on May 11, 2000. The United Internet AG, which
will still hold 76.93 percent of AdLINK after the initial public
offering (without greenshoe), is offering its shareholders
preferential subscription rights for the new AdLINK shares. A total
of 1,219,333 shares have been earmarked for this purpose.
Persons holding three ordinary bearer shares of the United
Internet AG on April 25 shall be entitled to one share of the AdLINK
Internet Media AG at the placing price resulting from the
bookbuilding process. Any "leftover" amounts of less than three
bearer shares cannot be used for subscription purposes, however.
Shareholders must exercise the right by way of their depositary banks
between April 26 and April 28 (4 p.m.). The preferential subscription
offer will be handled by the managing bank, the Bank Vontobel AG. To
ensure a free float of 20 percent, the Managing Board of the United
Internet AG will be partly forgoing the exercise of its advance
subscription right. At present united Internet holds 99.05 percent of
AdLINK. Further details of the AdLINK Internet Media AG's initial
public offering will be made known today at a press conference to be
held at 11 a.m. in Frankfurt's Architecture Museum.
Ralph Dommermuth, head of United Internet, outlines the reasons
behind the preferential subscription as follows: "AdLINK is a pioneer
in the field of online advertising marketing and has developed out of
the United Internet network. With the initial public offering, we are
offering AdLINK immense potential for further successful development
and positioning in the international marketplace. Our shareholders
will have a direct stake in this." United Internet shareholders will
therefore not be involved in any "lottery" procedure which is usually
necessary when a share has been oversubscribed: "It is an important
part of our corporate philosophy to include united Internet
shareholders directly and automatically in the business success of
our network companies."
The United Internet AG group comprises 17 innovative enterprises
representing practically the complete Internet value added chain. The
task of the management holding is to offer the companies in the
network excellent development opportunities by providing management
know-how, marketing services and growth capital.
The United Internet AG is Europe's leading alliance of Internet
companies. The management holding, which is listed on Frankfurt's
Neuer Markt, encompasses 17 innovative firms, including AdLINK, GMX,
l&l Internet, twenty4help, gatrixx and Jobs & Adverts. All these
enterprises make use of the outstanding cooperative potential and
synergetic effects which the United Internet network offers them.
