Branicks Group AG: Initiation of the process to conclude a control and profit transfer agreement with VIB Vermögen AG

Frankfurt, 30.10.2025

Frankfurt, 30 October 2025 – DIC Real Estate Investments GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (“DIC REI KGaA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, and VIB Vermögen AG (“VIB”) today agreed to commence discussions on the conclusion of a control and profit transfer agreement pursuant to Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) between DIC REI KGaA as the controlling company and VIB as the controlled company and to take the necessary preparatory measures.

Under the control and profit transfer agreement, DIC REI KGaA is to grant VIB’s outside shareholders an annual compensation payment for the duration of the agreement. In addition, the agreement is to provide for an offer to acquire the shares of VIB’s outside shareholders in exchange for newly issued Branicks shares. A conditional capital of Branicks is to be created for this purpose. Outside shareholders currently hold around 31.25% of VIB. The final structure of the annual compensation payment and the exchange offer under the agreement will be determined by DIC REI KGaA and VIB in accordance with legal requirements.

“With the initiation of the process for concluding a control and profit transfer agreement with VIB AG, we are consistently continuing the integration of VIB into the Branicks Group. The aim is to create clearly structured, streamlined decision-making processes and group structures that will enable us to manage and develop the Branicks Group in a market-oriented and cost-efficient manner in the interests of our stakeholders,” commented Sonja Wärntges, Chairwoman of the Executive Board of Branicks Group AG, on the plans presented.

Branicks expects that in February 2026 the respective extraordinary general meetings of VIB will be asked for the necessary approval and of Branicks for the necessary resolution.
