SNP: Public Takeover Offer Completed – Transition to Dualistic Management System Planned

  • Wolfgang Marguerre directly and indirectly holds 63.8% of SNP shares
  • Vote on transition to dualistic management system at Extraordinary General Meeting
  • Dr. Karl Benedikt Biesinger, Prof. Dr. Thorsten Grenz and Peter Maier to be appointed as members of the new Supervisory Board

Heidelberg, August 16, 2023 – After completion of the public takeover, Heidelberg businessman Wolfgang Marguere now directly and indirectly holds 63.8% of SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE’s shares. The extended acceptance period ended on August 10, 2023. The takeover offer reduced the free float* of SNP shares to approx. 36%. As the new majority shareholder, Wolfgang Marguerre intends to promote the long-term success of SNP in a sustainable manner. Furthermore, SNP SE’s management system will be changed from a monistic system with a Board of Directors to the dualistic management system standard for German listed companies with an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board. In connection with this, SNP will invite shareholders to a virtual Extraordinary General Meeting on September 27, 2023.

Dr. Jens Amail, CEO of SNP, comments: “SNP has a strong anchor shareholder in Wolfgang Marguerre, who is convinced of the company’s potential and supports our growth strategy. We are also delighted that the majority of our shareholders, among them many private investors, opted in favor of holding on to their SNP shares – as did our entire senior management team. I am convinced this will pay off in the medium and long term as more and more customers and partners recognize the significant value creation potential of our consulting and software solutions and put their trust in SNP. The recently announced half-year results also underline the company’s positive development and excellent growth prospects.”

Resolution on transition to dualistic system to be approved at Extraordinary General Meeting

A resolution on the transition to a dualistic system with an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board shall be resolved at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened on September 27, 2023. This will establish clear responsibilities and promote efficient decision making. Accordingly, the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting will also include the election of the members of the new Supervisory Board. Dr. Karl Benedikt Biesinger, Prof. Dr. Thorsten Grenz and Peter Maier are standing for election.

Prof. Grenz brings with him a wealth of experience in corporate management, finance and auditing – also with respect to the growing requirements surrounding sustainability. Dr. Biesinger is an expert in capital markets, company, accounting, and tax law. He is also familiar with the company thanks to his previous role as member of the Board of Directors. As a seasoned expert in the IT consulting and software industry in the SAP environment, and with a strong international network, Peter Maier contributes valuable skills in relation to partner development, customer access, product strategy and go-to-market to the Supervisory Board.

The agenda and additional information about the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published at short notice on the website https://investor-relations.snpgroup.com/en/annual-general-meeting/ and in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger).

*Share of SNP shares held by investors who have less than 5% of the share capital.
