Delbrück, October 18, 2018 - Today paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE0005558696) published the margin for the annual fixed interest rate of its new corporate bond (ISIN: DE000A2NBZK1; WKN A2NBZK), which was announced on October 15, 2018. Based on discussions held with investors, the margin was set between 4.25% and 4.75% p.a. The final interest rate will be published via a pricing notice after the end of the subscription period, which is expected to be October 25, 2018, at 2 p.m. (subject to early closure), and will be set on the basis of the received subscription orders.

"Our consistent growth strategy was met with great approval and interest during the discussions held with investors over the past few days," said Klaus Dieter Frers, founder and Chairman of the Board of paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA. "The decision to issue a new corporate bond will allow us to secure the financing for the next development phase in the automotive sector without diluting the value of the company's interest held by the current shareholders of paragon."

The offering period for the new corporate bond begins on October 23, 2018. The bond, which has a nominal value of EUR 1,000, can be purchased after this date at banks or through online brokers and at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange via the DirectPlace subscription function of Deutsche Börse AG. The issuing of the bond is aimed at private investors, institutional investors and asset managers.

The target volume of the issuance nominally amounts to EUR 50 million, though this is not a set limit. The offer is subject to the condition that a minimum nominal amount of EUR 30 million be successfully placed.

The inclusion of the bonds in trading on the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Deutsche Börse AG's Scale segment for corporate bonds is expected to occur on October 31, 2018 (subject to trading on terms of issue before the issue date of the bonds).

The securities prospectus, approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg on October 16, 2018, and notified to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority of Germany (BaFin), as well as the supplement No. 1 to the prospectus to be approved, which will include the margin of interest, will be available for download at www.ir.paragon.ag, www.bourse.lu and www.boerse-frankfurt.de.
