The online real estate company ImmOnline AG, member of the United Internet network (participation 30 %), has filed for bankruptcy with the district court of Wuppertal. The real estate portal operator fell well short of its financial targets for fiscal 2000. Contrary to plans, the company did not break even in 2000 but now expects to achieve this target in 2003. An increase in capital stock, approved by United Internet, had been planned to secure the company’s future. At the Shareholders’ Meeting of ImmOnline AG on December 21, 2000, however, the capital increase proposed by both Management and Supervisory Boards did not receive the necessary majority. After the failure of the company’s management to find an alternative solution to secure the continued existence of the company, it was decided to declare the company insolvent. The fiscal 2000 annual statements of United Internet AG include a special write- off of EUR 2.8 million for ImmOnline.
