Domination agreement with SinnerSchrader AG as a controlled company

On 20 October 2017, the management board of SinnerSchrader AG and the management of Accenture Digital Holdings GmbH issued the draft of a domination and profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag) between SinnerSchrader AG as a controlled company and Accenture Digital Holdings as controlling company.

The draft provides for a cash compensation (Barabfindung) in accordance with Section 305 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) amounting to EUR 10.21 per SinnerSchrader share and a compensation payment (Ausgleichszahlung) for the minority shareholders of EUR 0.27 per share (net, after deducting corporation tax and solidarity surcharge: EUR 0.23) per full fiscal year pursuant to section 304 AktG. The payment obligations of Accenture Digital Holdings GmbH from cash compensation or compensation payments are guaranteed by Accenture plc.

Pursuant to section 293 (2) AktG, the agreement requires the consent of the shareholders' meeting of Accenture Digital Holdings GmbH and pursuant to section 294 (2) AktG the registration of the conclusion of the contract with the commercial register in accordance with section 293 (1) AktG. The shareholders' meeting of Accenture Digital Holdings GmbH is expected to take place on 5 December 2017. An extraordinary general meeting of SinnerSchrader AG, which is scheduled for 6 December 2017, has to approve the domination and profit transfer agreement. The parties intend to conclude the contract, presumably on 7 December 2017.
