LAIQON AG
DGAP-Ad-hoc: Lloyd Fonds Aktiengesellschaft / Key word(s): Agreement Lloyd Fonds AG (LFAG) has today signed an investment agreement with Deutsche Effecten- und Wechsel-Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG (DEWB), Jena. The reason for this investment agreement is that DEWB entered into an over-the-counter share purchase agreement with ACP Fund V LLC (AMA), currently LFAG's principal shareholder, also on today's date. Under this share purchase agreement, which is subject to the usual conditions precedent, DEWB is to acquire around 25.6 percent of the shares in LFAG from AMA. The remaining shares in LFAG held by AMA have been sold in a separate over-the-counter share purchase agreement to investment funds managed by portfolio manager SPSW Capital GmbH, Hamburg. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase prices. The investment agreement, which Management Board member Klaus M. Pinter signed on behalf of LFAG, primarily governs the obligations relating to the future strategic cooperation between DEWB and LFAG and the latter's future corporate governance. Among other things, DEWB is willing to share its expertise in asset management with LFAG and allow it to benefit from its extended access to the capital market. In addition, DEWB is to be appropriately represented on LFAG's Supervisory Board. As LFAG's anchor shareholder, DWEB will work with the company to broaden its business to include liquid investment structures, particularly equity funds.
In the light of the changed shareholder structure, all members of the supervisory boards with the exception of the Chairman of the supervisory board, Dr. Stefan Rindfleisch, expected that they will be stepping down from LFAG's Supervisory Board. In view of this, LFAG and DEWB have determined in the investment agreement that LFAG is to submit an application to the responsible court to have Achim Plate and Henning Soltau, the shareholders of SPSW Capital GmbH and members of DEWB's Supervisory Board, appointed to LFAG's Supervisory Board.
