Gütersloh (ots) - Die hierin enthaltenen Informationen sind nicht zur

Veröffentlichung oder Verbreitung in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika,

Australien, Kanada, Japan oder anderen Ländern, in denen die Veröffentlichung

unzulässig wäre, bestimmt.

- Großes Interesse der Investoren

- Preis von 33 Euro je Aktie

- Platzierungsvolumen von 0,8 Mrd. Euro inkl. Mehrzuteilungsoption

- Bertelsmann bleibt strategischer Aktionär von Majorel

Das globale Customer-Experience-Unternehmen Majorel bringt im Zuge einer

Privatplatzierung an der Euronext Amsterdam 23 Millionen existierende Aktien in

den Handel, darin enthalten sind 3 Millionen Aktien aus der

Mehrzuteilungsoption. Der Preis liegt bei 33 Euro pro Aktie. Majorel ist ein

Venture von Bertelsmann und der Saham Group.

Thomas Rabe, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Bertelsmann, sagte: "Ich freue mich über

die erfolgreiche Privatplatzierung von Majorel. Das große Interesse der

Investoren und die anfängliche Bewertung des Unternehmens mit 3,3 Mrd. Euro sind

Belege für die überzeugende Wachstumsstory von Majorel unter der Führung von

Thomas Mackenbrock."

Bertelsmann wird nach der Platzierung 38,1 Prozent der Aktien von Majorel halten

(39,6 Prozent ohne Mehrzuteilungsoption) und damit neben der Saham Group

wichtiger strategischer Aktionär bleiben. Das Unternehmen wird weiterhin bei

Bertelsmann konsolidiert. Durch die Privatplatzierung fließen Bertelsmann inkl.

der Mehrzuteilungsoption Mittel in Höhe von 380 Mio. Euro zu.

Anfang September hatte Majorel seine Absicht bekanntgegeben, sich durch eine

Privatplatzierung für den Kapitalmarkt zu öffnen. Majorel ist in 31 Ländern auf

fünf Kontinenten aktiv und beschäftigt mehr als 63.000 Mitarbeitende. Majorel

erbringt Dienstleistungen für weltweit mehr als 400 Kunden, darunter mehrere

globale Tech-Unternehmen.
