Braun Melsungen Aktiengesellschaft files lawsuit against transaction with HELIOS B. Braun Melsungen Aktiengesellschaft has informed the Company today that it has filed a lawsuit with the Regional Court of Schweinfurt against the sale by the Company of 43 clinics and other affiliated companies to HELIOS. The lawsuit aims at determining that the share purchase agreement with HELIOS is void or - alternatively - may only be completed subject to the approval by the Company's general meeting with a majority of more than 90%. In addition, the Company shall refrain from any actions aiming at completing the transaction. In the view of the Company, the transaction with HELIOS does not fall within the competence of the general meeting. The share purchase agreement with HELIOS is lawful and valid. The lawsuit has no suspensive effect. The Company will defend itself against this unfounded lawsuit and continues to expect that the transaction will be successfully completed. Contact: Dr. Kai G.
