The profit and loss transfer agreement stipulates that VIB Vermögen AG will offer the minority shareholders of BBI AG ("outstanding shareholders") reasonable compensation in shares, taking the statutory requirements into account. The offer is based on a valuation of BBI AG and VIB Vermögen AG. The exchange ratio identified on the basis of these corporate valuations totals 8.02 BBI shares to 11.62 VIB shares. Each outstanding shareholder of BBI AG who wishes to avail of the compensation offer will receive 1.45 shares of VIB Vermögen AG for each share of BBI. Any fractions that result from the exchange ratio will be settled in cash by VIB Vermögen AG.
The profit and loss transfer agreement includes a fixed annual settlement of EUR 0.64 per no-par value share of BBI AG as reasonable compensation for shareholders who want to retain an interest in BBI AG, i.e., who do not want to accept the compensation offer made to them by VIB Vermögen AG.
The reasonable nature of the compensation and settlement payment to be offered by VIB AG within the meaning of Section 304, 305 of the AktG will be reviewed by the court-appointed auditor, ALEGRO GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Regensburg.
