Altiro GmbH (former GEHE Gesundheitsdienste GmbH), domiciled in Stuttgart, applied for an injunction dated November 2, 2007 with the Regional Court Munich I which it had delivered by advance note today, holding that Sanacorp Pharmaholding Aktiengesellschaft (former Sanacorp Pharmahandel Aktiengesellschaft, in the following "SANACORP") should be prohibited from assigning its investment in Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH to a third company, in particular a holding domiciled in Italy.
SANACORP has spun off its entire operating business to Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH which was formed on October 31, 2007 by entry of the spin-off in the commercial register. Within the scope of the planned business combination with French CERP Rouen SA (see our ad hoc statements dated January 30, 2007 and June 23, 2007), the investment of SANACORP in Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH is to be contributed to a joint venture which has already been established with CERP Rouen SA in Italy.
According to Altiro GmbH, SANACORP must, on the basis of existing agreements, offer them for purchase half of the block of shares totaling some 24.99 %, held now by Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH in Andreae-Noris Zahn AG, Frankfurt/Main, before the business combination will be realized; also, the above-mentioned contribution of the investment in Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH would thwart the rights of Altiro GmbH. SANACORP does not share this opinion, neither as regards the existence of a respective obligation nor as regards the alleged thwarting of rights due to the contribution and will therefore oppose the application for an injunction.
The regional court Munich I has already fixed a hearing date for November 15, 2007.
