Syntellix EGM Unanimously Adopts Resolution Authorising Corporate Action to Facilitate Planned IPO in Singapore / Dr Amir Ghoreishi Appointed New Member of the Executive Board and CFO

HANNOVER, Germany, May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- At an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of Syntellix AG on 30 April 2019 in Hanover, the shareholders unanimously agreed to create an authorized capital of 1.5 million shares to safeguard the further dynamic development of the company, its global market rollout and the continuing rollout of the product. The company had recently received approvals for its globally unique products in Mexico and Vietnam, important growth markets that are also characterised by dynamic population growth, and had carried out a successful market launch in Indonesia, during the course of which an internationally renowned medical expert described Syntellix's magnesium-based materials technology as 'the new gold standard'. The authorised capital that has now been created can and, if possible, will also be used to cover and complete the planned transnational IPO of the company on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The company had already successfully mastered and fulfilled important regulatory requirements for the respective IPO in Singapore.

The company's last capital increase has also been successfully implemented and completed. All shares offered within the scope of the last partial utilisation of the previous capital authorisation have been fully subscribed at the offered issue price.

The Supervisory Board of Syntellix AG has appointed Dr Amir Ghoreishi (55) as a new member of the company's Executive Board. As CFO, Dr Ghoreishi will play a key role in the further preparations for the intended IPO and, as CSO International, he will also help expedite further international expansion. Dr Ghoreishi has previously held senior positions as a management consultant at Roland Berger & Partner and as CEO of Salamander AG. He is highly experienced both on the capital markets side and internationally, particularly in China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. He has played a leading role in the success of large and innovative projects on a number of occasions and in various industries and has successfully advised on more than 100 M&A transactions, some of them most complex in nature. They include the extremely successful sale of the assets of a complete factory for a former SEAT model to Asia, something that is still unique to this day, and the future-oriented streamlining of the investment portfolio of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG.
