publity AG: Admission of Luxembourg investor as new major shareholder of PREOS AG and acquisition of a real estate portfolio in Luxembourg by GORE AG will not be implemented
Frankfurt am Main, 13. April 2023, 6:01 pm – At a joint meeting of the Management Board of publity AG (Scale, ISIN DE0006972508, “publity”) with the Management Boards of PREOS Global Office Real Estate & Technology AG (“PREOS”) and GORE German Office Real Estate AG (“GORE”) today, the Management Boards of PREOS and GORE decided not to pursue the capital increases in kind resolved by the Extraordinary General Meetings of PREOS and GORE on 9. and 8 June 2022, respectively, by extension resolution of the ordinary shareholders’ meetings of 8 and 7 December 2022, respectively, not to proceed with the capital increases against contribution in kind. Thus, the originally planned inclusion of a Luxembourg investor as a new major shareholder of PREOS and the related acquisition of a real estate portfolio in Luxembourg by GORE will not be implemented.
The decision was made because the Luxembourg investor has not given a binding commitment to complete the transaction due to the legal disputes conducted by shareholders of PREOS and GORE against the implementation of the capital increases in kind. Currently, legal challenges against the resolutions of the PREOS and GORE shareholders’ meetings of June and December 2022 are still pending and, after fruitless discussions with the plaintiffs against the resolutions, the Management Board does not expect that these proceedings will be concluded by the expiry of the extended deadlines for the registration of the implementation of the respective capital increase against contribution in kind on June 7 and 8, 2023, respectively.
As a result of the decision, the Group companies PREOS and GORE can now actively push alternative growth and development prospects.
