Schneider Electric plans squeeze-out under stock corporation law On July 5, 2021, Schneider Electric Investment AG, Düsseldorf, submitted to RIB Software SE the formal request pursuant to Section 327a (1) sentence 1 AktG that the General Meeting of RIB Software SE should resolve to transfer the shares of the remaining shareholders (minority shareholders) to Schneider Electric Investment AG in return for an appropriate cash compensation (so-called squeeze-out under stock corporation law). Schneider Electric Investment AG holds approximately 96.41% of the registered share capital of RIB Software SE and is therefore its main shareholder within the meaning of section 327a para. 1 sentence 1 AktG. The resolution on the transfer shall be passed at an extraordinary General Meeting of RIB Software SE which is supposed to take place in the fourth quarter of 2021. The amount of the appropriate cash compensation that Schneider Electric Investment AG, as the main shareholder, will pay to the minority shareholders of RIB Software SE for the transfer of the shares has not yet been determined. Further business development Due to the uncertainties caused by Covid-19 and in the context of further cost reductions and preservation of liquidity, we have continued to strongly reduce investments in new business areas, such as YTWO, and are focusing on the successful expansion of the iMTWO segment. On this basis and considering the further likely impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, provided it does not intensify during the year, we maintain the RIB Group's guidance for the 2021 financial year, according to which the company plans to generate revenue of between ? 280 million and ? 310 million and operating EBITDA of between ? 65 million and ? 75 million.
