The Management Board of STS Group AG (ISIN: DE000A1TNU68), a globally active systems supplier for the automotive and commercial vehicle industry listed on the regulated market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, resolved on September 10, 2020, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital by EUR 500,000 from EUR 6,000,000 to EUR 6,500,000 by issuing 500,000 new shares against cash contribution, partially utilizing the Authorized Capital 2018/I under exclusion of subscription rights.

For the subscription and acquisition of the new shares only Mutares SE & Co. KGaA alone was admitted. The issue price was set at EUR 3.00 per new share. STS Group AG will thus receive gross issue proceeds totaling EUR 1,500,000.00.

The Management Board of STS Group AG is therefore continuing to evaluate all options for raising further funds.
