The Platform Group holds successful Annual General Meeting with 99% approval for change of legal form
“This year’s Annual General Meeting was a good opportunity for us to look back on the most successful year in the Company’s history together with our shareholders: we were able to increase revenue and earnings to record levels. We have set ourselves significantly more ambitious targets for 2025 and have already raised our forecast. Our goal is to become the leading platform group in Europe and to be represented in 35 industries by next year. In doing so, we will increase our earning power and significantly expand the number of our partners,” said Dr. Dominik Benner, CEO of TPG.
“I am delighted that a majority of 98.97% of shareholders today approved the proposal put forward by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, and I would like to thank all shareholders for their trust. We will continue on the consistent growth path we have followed in recent years and scale TPG to a new level,” said Dr. Benner. Stefan Schütze, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of TPG: “With the planned conversion to an SE & Co. KGaA legal form, we are securing TPG’s long-term orientation and fast decision-making processes and ensuring a stable ownership structure for the future. Many other companies such as Fresenius, Ströer, and Bertelsmann have successfully implemented this step. With Benner Holding as a long-term anchor shareholder, we will thus ensure the continuous development of TPG.”
The general partner of the KGaA will be a European company – The Platform Group Management SE – in which Benner Holding GmbH is the sole shareholder. The management of the general partner will be identical to the Executive Board of The Platform Group SE and will take over the management of The Platform Group SE & Co. KGaA. The change in legal form will not affect the shareholders’ stake in the Company. They will hold the same number of shares in SE & Co. KGaA as they did before the change in legal form. The total number of shares issued will also remain unchanged. The change in legal form will take effect upon entry in the commercial register.
The Supervisory Board of TPG will consist of four representatives. Until the change of legal form is entered in the commercial register, the current Supervisory Board of The Platform Group AG will remain in office. The shareholders elected Mr. Marcel Roessner as a new member of the Supervisory Board by a large majority. Mr. Stefan Schütze will remain at the helm of the Supervisory Board as its Chairman. The other members of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Olaf Hoppelshäuser and Mr. Florian Müller, were each confirmed in the election with 99.40% of the vote. The shareholders approved the discharge of the Management Board and Supervisory Board with 94.66% and 99.97% of the vote, respectively. RR GmbH was elected as the new group and annual auditor with 99.69% approval.
