- Maximilian Rinke newly elected to the Supervisory Board
Wiesbaden, 3 May 2024 – The ordinary Annual General Meeting of Aareal Bank AG adopted the resolution concerning the squeeze-out under the German Public Limited Companies Act, thus resolving the transfer of shares held by minority shareholders to the main shareholder, Atlantic BidCo GmbH.

The main shareholder's request for the transfer of the shares held by remaining shareholders was adopted with a majority of 99.12 per cent of the votes cast.
