Blue Cap AG: Major shareholder PartnerFonds creates basis for further progress in the realization of the Blue Cap share package
• Major shareholder PartnerFonds AG i.L. plans to offer its shareholders an exchange of shares for Blue Cap shares at fair value
• Legal framework to be created at the Annual General Meeting of PartnerFonds AG
• Measures mean progress in the price-preserving realization of the Blue Cap share package
• Continued stable Blue Cap shareholder base with three long-term oriented anchor investors
Munich, 25 April 2025 The liquidating major shareholder PartnerFonds AG (“PartnerFonds”) informed Blue Cap AG (“Blue Cap”) of its plans to enable its shareholders to exchange PartnerFonds shares for Blue Cap shares in the future. The basis for the exchange will be the fair value of the Blue Cap share. The necessary legal framework for the share exchange offer is to be put to a vote at PartnerFonds' Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2025. The possible share exchange offer is subject to the shareholders' decision on the relevant agenda items as well as the expiry of a statutory lock-up period and the valuation of the Blue Cap share by an external expert. PartnerFonds informed Blue Cap that for this reason there are currently no further details on the exchange offer. PartnerFonds currently holds 27.1% of Blue Cap AG's share capital.
This measure initiated by PartnerFonds represents a further step in its liquidation process. At the same time, it confirms PartnerFonds' regularly communicated goal of selling its stake in Blue Cap in a price-preserving manner.
The shares held by Blue Cap's other anchor shareholders are distributed as follows:
- JotWe GmbH 15.2%
- Kreissparkasse Biberach 13.6%
- Schüchl GmbH 10.5%
Dr. Henning von Kottwitz, CEO of Blue Cap, comments: “PartnerFonds' plans confirm that the stake in Blue Cap will be liquidated in an orderly and market-compatible manner. The steps initiated by PartnerFonds are therefore also a positive signal for Blue Cap. They also open up the opportunity to expand the circle of our shareholders. With our three long-term oriented anchor shareholders, our investor structure remains stable.”
