Branicks Group AG: Extension of terms of promissory note loans due in 2024 planned under preventive application of the StaRUG procedure, postponement of publication of the 2023 consolidated financial statements

Frankfurt, 05.03.2024 – Branicks Group AG („Branicks“), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, has decided today to preventively notify the competent Local Court of Frankfurt am Main of a restructuring project for the promissory note loans due in 2024 in accordance with the Act on the Stabilisation and Restructuring Framework for Companies (“StaRUG”).

The background to the planned notification are positively proceeding negotiations with the holders of the promissory note loans due in 2024 (in the amount of Euro 225 million) with the sole aim of extending the terms. The StaRUG procedure serves to secure the transaction, as in this context the necessary adjustments of all promissory note loans due in 2024 can already be effected with the approval of 75% of the nominal amount of the promissory note loans in question. The Management Board expects to achieve at least this majority.

Due to the underlying timeline, Branicks is postponing the publication of the annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2023 financial year and its annual report until April 30, 2024.

Parallel discussions with the lenders of the bridge financing for the acquisition of the shares in VIB Vermögen AG (in the amount of Euro 200 million) completed in 2022 are continuing as planned. The aim of these negotiations is also to extend the term.

The plausibility of Branicks’ concept is confirmed by an Independent Business Review by FTI-Andersch.

The Management Board is convinced that it will be able to bring the ongoing negotiations to a positive conclusion.

Branicks will continue to keep the capital markets and the general public informed about its further progress in accordance with statutory requirements.
