萨泽拉克发起要约收购德国Berentzen 每股5.55欧元溢价约68%
德国烈酒与利口酒生产商Berentzen集团已与BuzzBallz母公司萨泽拉克签署业务合并协议，执委会与监事会支持这项自愿公开收购要约。萨泽拉克拟以每股5.55欧元（约6.37美元）收购，较Berentzen三个月成交量加权平均股价溢价约68%，并以50%加一股的最低接受门槛为条件。萨泽拉克计划收购成功后将其从法兰克福交易所退市，预计2026年第四季度完成。
German schnapps and liqueur producer Berentzen-Gruppe has entered into a business combination agreement with BuzzBallz owner Sazerac.
Berentzen-Gruppe’s executive and advisory boards are said to support a planned voluntary public takeover, which will see Sazerac offer €5.55 ($6.37) per share for the Haselünne-headquartered company.
The offer represents a premium of approximately 68% on Berentzen’s three-month volume-weighted average share price. This was calculated before the share price was affected by
Berentzen’s CEO Olivier Schwegmann and CFO Ralf Bruehoefner said in a statement: “We, the executive board together with the supervisory board, see this as an outstanding opportunity for the Berentzen Group – for the company, its staff and its shareholders.
“A high and steady rate of growth is of the utmost importance for achieving our strategic business objectives. In our view, the areas of innovative strength, sales capabilities and internationalisation play a particularly crucial role in this regard. These are precisely the areas in which Sazerac, as a globally positioned, financially strong partner, can make a real difference. Sazerac has enjoyed an impressive track record in recent years – also through strategic acquisitions.”
Sazerac has confirmed plans to delist Berentzen, which is currently listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, if the takeover bid is successful. Completion is expected as soon as the fourth quarter of 2026.
An offer document will soon be submitted to German financial regulator BaFin for review and approval. After this, Berentzen’s boards will issue a further statement on the offer.
“In our view, the offer is very attractive to our shareholders,” Schwegmann and Bruehoefner added. “We will therefore recommend that all shareholders accept the offer. The proposed price of €5.55 per share is on a level not seen for over two years. The business combination will present the Berentzen Group with an excellent opportunity to consistently pursue its growth strategy and tap into further potential for value creation at a pace and on a scale that is only possible with a strong strategic partner in a challenging European market.”
