New legal form: VERBIO Vereinigte BioEnergie AG has been converted into Verbio SE

Leipzig, December 1, 2023 – Verbio (ISIN DE000A0JL9W6), a leading provider of innovative solutions for the decarbonisation and defossilisation of industry, transport and agriculture, has completed the process of conversion from a German stock corporation to a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE) and is now known as Verbio SE. The conversion, which was announced by the Management and Supervisory Boards in February 2023 and approved by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on August 25, 2023, came into effect following the registration of the conversion at the commercial register on November 30, 2023.

The Company will continue to have its registered office in Zörbig, Germany (Saxony-Anhalt), and will continue to be managed using a dual management structure by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. Shareholders’ rights will also remain unchanged. The change in legal form does not result in any changes for Verbio’s business partners or employees.

The Management Board of Verbio considers the European Company to be a modern legal form which is suitable and appropriate in the long term for the size and international presence of the business. The conversion is a logical step towards continuing Verbio’s sustainable growth strategy.
