Branicks Group AG: Bundling of business with institutional investors at VIB Vermögen AG, settlement of the loan due

• Complexity of structures in the Group further reduced
• No change in business relationship with institutional investors
• Settlement of all receivables from the maturing loan 

Frankfurt, 07. 07. 2025 - Branicks Group AG (‘Branicks’), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, is bundling the Group's business with institutional investors (Institutional Business) within the Group at VIB Vermögen AG (VIB). The transfer of the business from Branicks Group AG to the fully consolidated VIB Vermögen AG, which was agreed today with VIB Vermögen AG, is intended to reduce the complexity of the shareholder structure within the Group. The volume of the transfer is around EUR 360xx million.

The business relationship with institutional investors will not change. The customer interface and account managers will remain unchanged. The Commercial Portfolio of Branicks Group AG is not affected by the organisational change.

Sonja Wärntges, CEO and CFO of Branicks Group AG, commented on the transaction: "By transferring our Institutional Business to VIB, we are bundling this business in one place within the Group. Everything will remain the same for our customers. The simplification of our structures makes us more effective and is a further step forward."

The closing of the transaction is still subject to the usual, purely formal closing conditions. Branicks and VIB have also agreed that upon completion of the transfer, all claims of VIB against Branicks arising from the loan granted by VIB Vermögen AG to Branicks Group AG on 7 July 2023 in the amount of around EUR 300 million will be offset.
