Verkauf der Beteiligung an der Ziemer Group AG

Die BV Holding AG hat Verträge zum Verkauf ihrer Beteiligung an der Ziemer Group AG an die Gründerfamilie unterzeichnet. Nach Abzug von Transaktionskosten erwartet die BV Holding AG einen Nettoverkaufserlös im Umfang von rund CHF 24 Mio. nach Vollzug dieser Transaktion, der voraussichtlich Ende Mai stattfinden wird. Weiter hat die BV Holding AG ihre Beteiligung an der Piexon AG veräussert und Mittelzuflüsse im Umfang von CHF 0.4 Mio. im Zusammenhang mit dieser Transaktion generiert.

Strategieanpassung

Der Verwaltungsrat der BV Holding AG hat beschlossen, dass die BV Holding AG keine Neuinvestitionen mehr tätigen wird. Die grösste Beteiligung SKAN Holding AG, die als führendes Unternehmen im Bereich der Isolatortechnologie für die biopharmazeutische Industrie gilt, strebt - vorbehältlich eines günstigen Marktumfelds - im Verlaufe des zweiten Halbjahres 2021 einen Börsengang an der SIX Swiss Exchange an. Die beiden Gesellschaften prüfen dabei Wege, um die SKAN Holding AG vollständig in die BV Holding AG, als neue Konzernobergesellschaft, einzubringen.

Die Beteiligungen der BV Holding AG sollen sukzessive veräussert und die Mittelrückflüsse an die Aktionäre der BV Holding AG ausgeschüttet werden.
