Sazerac's Bid for Berentzen Group Gains Board Approval

Sazerac has initiated a voluntary takeover offer for Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, proposing EUR 5.55 per share. The Executive and Supervisory Boards of Berentzen endorse the offer, considering it fair and advantageous. The acceptance window remains open until November 20, 2026.

The offer follows a comprehensive review, evaluating stock price history and an independent fairness opinion. It promises a secure cash exit for shareholders amidst volatile market conditions. Sazerac's acquisition strategy emphasizes Berentzen's longtime heritage and robust market footprint.

Berentzen officials see this as a substantial opportunity for strategic growth, enhancing brand and employee potential. Upon successful acquisition, Sazerac plans to delist Berentzen. The deal's completion is anticipated in Q4 2026.
