Branicks Group AG Initiates Control and Profit Transfer Agreement Process

DIC Real Estate Investments GmbH & Co. KGaA, a subsidiary of Branicks Group AG, and VIB Vermögen AG have begun discussions on a control and profit transfer agreement. This agreement, under Germany's Stock Corporation Act, would establish DIC as the controlling company with VIB as the controlled entity.

The agreement outlines an annual compensation payment to VIB's outside shareholders. Additionally, it includes an offer to acquire these shareholders' shares in exchange for newly issued Branicks shares, contingent on the creation of conditional capital. Outside shareholders currently hold 31.25% of VIB.

Branicks anticipates that approval will be sought at extraordinary general meetings in February 2026. The structure of compensation and the exchange offer will comply with legal standards.
