conwert Immobilien Invest SE: conwert ends all litigation proceedings with shareholders and creates legal certainty

Vienna (pta021/16.12.2015/14:21 UTC+1) Following today's resolution of the Administrative Board of conwert Immobilien Invest SE (conwert), listed on the Austrian ATX, to rapidly end the legal proceedings related to the challenge of the 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM) conwert has acknowledged the claims of the shareholders at the Commercial Court of Vienna in the course of today's hearing, leading to an acknowledgement verdict. The acknowledgement verdict by the Commercial Court of Vienna is immediately binding as a result of both parties having waived their right to appeal.

In addition, conwert has withdrawn its defamation suit against Petrus Advisors LLP and Klaus Umek.

The decision to end all legal disputes with shareholders is based on appraising the opportunities, risks and costs to conwert and in particular the strategic resolution of the Administrative Board to secure legal certainty in the interest of every shareholder and to fully focus conwert's resources on the operational performance of the company.

The end of litigation will also improve the quorum situation in the Administrative Board. At present the Administrative Board consists of the minimum number of members permitted by the Articles of Association, namely three. With the acknowledgement verdict taking effect today, Erich Kandler will join the Administrative Board as a representative of minority interests and the fourth member of the Board. At the same time the maximum number of Administrative Board members has once again been increased to five. The election of a fifth Administrative Board member will be held by the next AGM at the latest; the planned AGM date is 28 June 2016.
