Immofinanz has received approval from its Supervisory Board to enter into negotiations with its core shareholder CPI Property Group concerning the acquisition of shares in S Immo. Currently, Immofinanz directly holds approx. 26.49% of S Immo. CPIPG directly holds 52.7% of S Immo, which may further increase as a result of CPIPG’s mandatory takeover offer over S Immo.

Following the completion of the mandatory offer by CPI Property Group in relation to S Immo, the Supervisory Board and the acting Chairman of the Management Board, Dr. Bruno Ettenauer, have mutually agreed that Mr. Ettenauer's Management Board contract terminated at the end of 6 September 2022.

After the successful completion of the mandatory takeover offer of CPI Property Group on Immofinanz the Supervisory Board and the members of the Executive Board Dietmar Reindl and Stefan Schönauer mutually agreed today in relation to the Change of Control Event, that their contract as board members shall end on 8 June 2022.

S Immo has received a request from shareholder CPI Property Group to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. The motion is to resolve the abolishment of the 15 % voting cap set in the Articles of Association of S Immo. In addition, CPI Property Group has announced its intention to make a mandatory offer for all shares in S Immo not held by CPI. At the moment, CPIPG, directly and indirectly, owns a total of 42.6% in S Immo.

The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Immofinanz have issued supplementary statements on the announcement by CPI Property Group SA (CPIPG) of the increase in the offer price to €23.00 per share (cum dividend) and increase in CPIPG’s investment in Immofinanz to roughly 48.18% through the purchase of shares from S Immo AG. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board still view the improved offer price as too low given the successful development of Immofinanz and the current value of the company. Moreover, the offer price does not include an appropriate control premium in connection with CPIPG’s intention to attain control over Immofinanz.

The agreement also covers the acquisition of additional shares eventually tendered into the voluntary partial tender offer for shares of Immofinanz published by CEE Immobilien GmbH on 23 December 2021. The purchase price per share amounts to €23.00 cum dividend. Following the transaction, CPIPG has undertaken to improve its takeover offer price (from the previous €22.70) in accordance with the Austrian Takeover Act accordingly.

CPI Property Group is continuing its efforts towards the takeover of Immofinanz. It has increased its holding in Immofinanz to 35.5% and subsequently also increased its offer price.
