The Management Board of Klöckner & Co SE (“Klöckner & Co”) announces the pricing of its offering of EUR 97.9 million senior unsecured convertible bonds (the “Bonds”) to institutional investors outside of the US only.

The Bonds will have a maturity of five years and a coupon of 6 per cent being at the low end of the indicated range of 6 to 7 per cent.

Based on the conversion price 4.65 million shares are underlying the bond.

J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank AG are acting as joint bookrunners, lead managers and sole syndicate members for the Offering.
