Genesys Conferencing successfully achieves its rights offering
for cash and its financial restructuring
Montpellier - France - August 4, 2003 - Genesys Conferencing (Euronext: 3955)
(Nasdaq: GNSY) announced today that its rights offering with preferential
subscription right for cash, which opened on July 10, 2003, and closed on July
23, 2003, was successfully completed.
The rights offering, which was launched on July 3, 2003, was subscribed up to
100%, representing a total of 6,192,876.80 euros, inclusive of the issuance
premium. As a result of the subscriptions, Genesys will issue 2,814,944 new
ordinary shares, which will be quoted on the Nouveau marche of Euronext Paris
starting August 6, 2003.
The new shares to be issued are the result of the exercise of preferential
subscription rights by Genesys' shareholders of 2,632,472 shares. The additional
new shares were allocated to Universal Capital Partners S.A., Part-Com S.A. and
In'Com S.A. in connection with their commitment to subscribe to the rights
offering.
The rights offering was also extended to holders of Genesys ADRs, who exercised
subscription rights for 864,224 new ADRs. It is expected that the new ADRs will
be quoted on the Nasdaq.
The completion of the rights offering was the last condition to Genesys'
financial restructuring, which has now been successfully completed. As
announced, Genesys will use the proceeds of the rights offering to repay or
repurchase 50% of its outstanding 3% convertible bonds.
The right to exercise the stock options and the right of bondholders to convert
outstanding 3% convertible bonds, as well as the Company's right to early
repayment of the redeemable bonds, will resume on August 6, 2003.
