The extraordinary general meeting of DIC Real Estate Investments GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (DIC REI) has approved control and profit transfer agreements with VIB Vermogen AG and Branicks Group AG. This approval follows corresponding resolutions passed by the extraordinary general meetings of VIB Vermogen AG and Branicks Group AG on February 12 and 13, 2026, which were contingent upon DIC REI's consent.
With this decision, all necessary resolutions for the entries of these agreements into the commercial register are now in place. The completion of this process marks a pivotal step in the corporate restructuring of Branicks Group AG, a leading German listed specialist for office and logistics real estate as well as renewable assets. The company, formerly known as DIC Asset AG, operates a national and regional real estate platform with nine offices across major German markets, including VIB Vermogen AG.
The importance of this development lies in its consolidation of corporate control and profit-sharing mechanisms within the Branicks ecosystem. By formalizing these agreements, the company strengthens its operational and financial integration, potentially enhancing efficiency and strategic alignment across its portfolio. For the real estate industry, this move underscores the ongoing trend of consolidation and structured corporate governance among major market players.
Branicks Group AG manages properties with a market value of EUR 10.7 billion across its Commercial Portfolio and Institutional Business segments, as of September 30, 2025. The Commercial Portfolio segment focuses on real estate held for the company's own account, generating cash flows from stable rent revenues on long-term leases while optimizing portfolio value through active management. The Institutional Business segment earns recurrent fees from real estate services provided to national and international institutional investors, structuring and managing investment products that offer attractive dividend yields.
The company's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its top positions in ESG-relevant ratings such as Morningstar Sustainalytics and S&P Global CSA. As a signatory to the UN Global Compact and the UN PRI network, Branicks Group AG emphasizes environmental, social, and governance principles in its operations. Properties in its portfolio have been awarded renowned sustainability certificates such as DGNB, LEED, or BREEAM. For more information, visit https://www.branicks.com.

In a broader context, it highlights the maturation of Germany's real estate market, where established players like Branicks Group AG are refining their corporate frameworks to sustain long-term growth and resilience. The resolution of these agreements removes a key procedural hurdle, allowing the company to focus on executing its strategic vision in a competitive landscape.
