Luxembourg/Koblenz, May 11, 2015 - On May 11, 2015, the management board of Stabilus S.A. (Stabilus, ISIN: LU1066226637) resolved that Stabilus will exercise its contractual right to prematurely redeem all its outstanding senior secured notes with the principal amount of EUR 256,122,969.84 due in 2018. The notes will be fully and prematurely redeemed on June 16, 2015. In accordance to the terms of the bonds issued, the nominal redemption price per redeemed note will amount to EUR 103,875, equaling 103.875% of the principal amount of each EUR 100,000 note redeemed.

Bondholders will be informed about the details of the premature redemption of the outstanding senior secured notes in the form of a "Notice of Full Redemption", which will be published on May 11, 2015.
