14.07.2015 AD HOC Information: Resolutions of Extraordinary General Meeting entered in companies register

Today, the St. Pölten companies register has recorded the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Bene AG from 8 June 2015, thus registering the reverse stock split in the commercial register. The stock split reduces the share capital to around EUR 1.9 million (m), whereby two new shares will be issued for every 25 existing shares. For the capital increase that was carried out concurrently, BGO Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH subscribed to new shares totalling EUR 18m, so that the authorised share capital now amounts to EUR 19,947,788.00. BGO Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH now holds more than 90% of Bene AG's share capital.

Today's implementation of the financing package of investors Bartenstein Holding GmbH and grosso holding GmbH together with the financing banks means that the Bene Group's financial restructuring has been completed. The substantial increase in equity puts Bene's finances and capitalisation on a solid foundation and ensures its continuing operation as a sound business.
