IMMOFINANZ - Shareholders approve reduction in the control threshold
and elect two new members to the Supervisory Board
17.04.2015 / 16:25
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 April 2015, the shareholders of
IMMOFINANZ AG approved a reduction in the control threshold for a mandatory
takeover offer (as defined in §22 (2) of the Austrian Takeover Act) to 15%.
Additionally, Horst Populorum (41) and Wolfgang Schischek (71) were elected
to the Supervisory Board. Their terms of office extend to the end of the
annual general meeting that will vote on the release from liability for the
2018/2019 financial year.
The Supervisory Board now includes six shareholder representatives (Michael
Knap, Chairman, Rudolf Fries, Vice-Chairman, Christian Böhm, Horst
Populorum, Wolfgang Schischek and Nick J.M. van Ommen). The maximum number
of Supervisory Board members to be elected by the annual general meeting
was reduced to six.
IMMOFINANZ CEO Eduard Zehetner thanked the shareholders, also in response
to the Friday morning announcement of the results of the partial takeover
offer by CA Immobilien/O1 for IMMOFINANZ shares: "As a result of the great
foresight shown by IMMOFINANZ shareholders, the bidders failed to meet
their goal."
The proposals for two other changes to the articles of association - an
increase in the majority required to dismiss a Supervisory Board member and
a change in the allowable term of office for the election of substitute
Supervisory Board members - did not receive the necessary majority.
