- Shareholders approved reverse share split at a ratio of 10:1 at AGM on 14 June 2024

Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (24 September 2024) -- ams OSRAM publishes timetable of the 10:1 reverse share split with expected first trading day of new shares on 30 September 2024.
At the Annual General Meeting on 14 June 2024, ams OSRAM’s shareholders approved the re-division of the Company’s share capital through a reverse share split at a ratio of 10:1. The reverse share split was registered accordingly with the Austrian companies register as of today (24 September 2024).
Today, ams OSRAM publishes the timetable of the envisaged reverse share split:
- 27 September 2024: last trading day of the old shares (ISIN: AT0000A18XM4) on SIX Swiss Exchange
- 30 September 2024: first trading day of the new shares (ISIN: AT0000A3EPA4) on SIX Swiss Exchange (ex-date)
Through the reverse share split, 10 existing no-par value bearer shares will be merged into 1 no-par value bearer share. This results in the Company’s share capital of EUR 998,443,940 being divided into 99,844,394 bearer shares.
The reverse split of shares may result in fractions of new shares. This is the case if shareholders hold a number of ams OSRAM shares that is not divisible by 10 (or a multiple thereof) on 27 September 2024 after close of trading. Fractions are rounded down and shareholders will receive cash compensation (in CHF) for their fractions in ams OSRAM. The fractional compensation will be financed by the sale of excess shares by the custodian banks. The respective compensation amount will be based on the market price of new shares and the actual achieved sale price at that time.
The new shares issued following the reverse share split will have a new International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) while the existing shares held prior to the reverse share split will be cancelled.
ams OSRAM shareholders will be informed of the implementation of the reverse share split by their custodian bank. Further information regarding the reverse share split can be found in the Q&A published on ams OSRAM website (link).
