ALLIANZ AG: Contestation suits against formation of Allianz SE withdrawn
Today Allianz AG reached a court settlement with the thirteen shareholders who
had filed contestation suits against the resolutions taken at the extraordinary
shareholders' meeting on 8 February 2006. The settlement calls for the
withdrawal of all contestation suits by the plaintiffs in return for
reimbursement by Allianz AG of their court costs and legal attorney fees
pursuant to the Attorney Remuneration Act (amounting to around 72,000 euros per
plaintiff) . In addition, once the merger with the Italian RAS comes into
effect, Allianz will publish on its website an explanation of the differences
between the legal form of a German stock corporation and that of a European
company (Societas Europaea). Besides the reimbursement of costs no benefit is
granted, assured or announced to the plaintiffs. The documentation of the
settlement will be published in the electronic Federal Gazette as well as on the
website of Allianz AG.
The agreement settles all contestation suits as well as the release procedure
initiated by Allianz. The contestation suits therefore no longer stand in the
way of the planned registration of the merger of RAS with Allianz and the
conversion of Allianz into a SE in the autumn of 2006.
