ams Offer GmbH (the „Bidder“), a wholly owned subsidiary of ams AG, Premstätten, Austria, decided today to make a public delisting tender offer to the shareholders of OSRAM Licht AG (the „Delisting Offer“) for the acquisition of their no-par-value registered shares (auf den Namen lautende nennwertlose Stückaktien) in OSRAM Licht AG (DE000LED4000; the „OSRAM Shares“). The Bidder intends to offer a cash consideration in the amount of EUR 52.30 per OSRAM Share.

The Delisting Offer will not be subject to completion conditions. The Bidder will instruct the management board of OSRAM Licht AG under the existing domination and profit and loss transfer agreement in accordance with section 308 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) to apply for the revocation of the admission of all OSRAM Shares to trading on the regulated market (Regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) and on the regulated market of the Munich Stock Exchange (Münchener Wertpapierbörse) pursuant to section 39 para. 2 sent. 1 BörsG after prior coordination with the Bidder before the end of the acceptance period to be determined in the offer document for the Delisting Offer and to take, after prior coordination with the Bidder, all reasonable measures to ensure, to the extent possible, that the inclusion of the OSRAM Shares in all organized trading venues, in particular the open markets (Freiverkehr), is terminated at the earliest time possible.

The offer document for the Delisting Offer (in German and a non-binding English translation) containing the detailed terms and conditions of, and other information relating to, the Delisting Offer, respectively, will be published on the internet at

Important notice:
This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell OSRAM Shares. The terms and further provisions regarding the Delisting Offer by the Bidder to the shareholders of OSRAM Licht AG will be set forth in the offer document which will be published following approval of its publication by BaFin. Holders of OSRAM Shares are strongly recommended to read the offer document and to seek independent advice, where appropriate, in relation to the matters therein.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions other than the Federal Republic of Germany and Switzerland may be restricted by law.
