As set out in the Investment Agreement, the Bidder commits to support the current growth strategy, including maintaining the existing management team, and safeguarding employee positions. The company’s headquarters and corporate seat in Berlin shall be maintained. The parties have agreed not to enter into a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement for two years after closing of the Offer.
