Marburg, 18 December 2019 – With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board of 3U HOLDING AG has just sold one million of its own shares to interested German institutional investors. The purchase price amounted to EUR 1.67 per share. This transaction means that institutional investors have made significant investments in 3U HOLDING AG. The net proceeds of the transaction are to be used to finance the further growth of the subsidiary weclapp SE.

The treasury stock results from a share buyback program resolved by the Annual General Meeting of 3U HOLDING AG on May 30, 2012. The resolution of the Annual General Meeting authorises the Management Board to sell the shares with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The shares may also be sold by means other than via the stock exchange or by means of a public purchase offer to all shareholders, provided that the acquired treasury shares are sold at a price that is not significantly lower than the market price of the Company’s shares of the same class at the time of the sale. The relevant stock exchange price within the meaning of the above provision is the average closing price of the Company’s shares in XETRA trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange during the last five trading days prior to the sale of the shares. These conditions have been met. The share price of the transaction did not significantly fall short of the corresponding average closing price of the Company’s shares in XETRA trading of EUR 1.746 After completion of the transaction, 3U HOLDING AG still holds 1,183,640 treasury shares.

  • Establishment of a data centre in Switzerland supports the path to active internationalisation

Frankfurt/M. and Marburg, Germany, 16 December 2019 – weclapp SE, a subsidiary of 3U HOLDING AG (ISIN: DE0005167902), is making further progress along the path of internationalisation and is creating the basis for data storage in Switzerland for Swiss customers. Contracts to set up a data center with an operator in Zurich have now been signed.

Experience has shown that Swiss companies expect their data to be hosted in their own country. By extending the weclapp platform with a further data center in Switzerland, customers can now also select Zurich alongside Frankfurt for the storage of their company data. Like the weclapp platform itself, the new infrastructure is scalable and can be flexibly adapted to a growing number of users. Customers in the European Union will continue to have full access to the cloud capacities in Frankfurt, Germany.

Internationalisation, which has already begun, will be achieved by successively transferring the online marketing concept, which is being successfully employed in Germany, to selected European markets. The next steps will be taken into countries such as Austria, France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands. In addition to online marketing, weclapp will build up an active network of partner companies in these countries, as is customary in the industry.

“The growth story of weclapp continues,” says Ertan Özdil, CEO of weclapp SE. “Following the successful development in Germany, we will also market the strengths of our platform internationally as planned. weclapp was developed from the outset for worldwide use and is one of the most attractive ERP systems for medium-sized companies in terms of technology and price. There are no inherent barriers to growth. We are now taking the next logical step on our road to market leadership.”
