EQS-Adhoc: ProCredit Holding AG & Co. KGaA intends to transform itself into a stock corporation

ProCredit Holding AG & Co. KGaA intends to convert into a stock corporation

The personally liable partner of ProCredit Holding AG & Co. KGaA (“Company”) today agreed with the shareholders of the personally liable partner to prepare a change of legal form of the company into a stock corporation (AG).

In the opinion of the general partner, the planned change of legal form does justice to the positioning of ProCredit Holding AG & Co. KGaA as an internationally oriented and listed financial holding company. This legal form also offers the possibility of making the corporate governance structure and the work of the company’s bodies more efficient. The company’s entrepreneurial orientation and in particular its commitment to the impact-oriented provision of banking services by its subsidiaries with an operational focus on Southeast and Eastern Europe will remain unaffected by the intended change of legal form.

With the conversion, the limited shareholders of the company automatically become shareholders of the AG. The AG shares will also be listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The change of legal form requires the consent of the limited partners. This is to be obtained at a general meeting within the next two years.
