In connection with the takeover of Schering AG, Berlin, Germany, by
the Bayer Group, a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement
between Dritte BV GmbH as the controlling company and Schering AG as
the dependent company is to be proposed for approval at an
extraordinary General Meeting of Schering AG planned for September
2006.
In this regard, the Executive Boards of Schering AG and Bayer AG as
well as the management of Dritte BV GmbH have instructed KPMG
Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft with the valuation of Schering AG.
KPMG has today informed the Executive Board of Schering AG that, upon
completion of their valuation work, the value of Schering AG amounts
to EUR 16.723 billion. This is equivalent to a value of EUR 87.63 per
share. This value is above the volume-weighted average share price of
the past three months and represents an appropriate compensation
payment in the view of KPMG. According to KPMG, fair compensation for
future omitted dividend amounts to EUR 3.62 per share. KPMG based its
valuation on the principles of the Standard S1 of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants for the implementation of company valuations
(IDW S1). KPMG has already taken into account the results of Schering
AG as per June 30, 2006.
The Executive Board of Bayer AG has nonetheless offered to the
Executive Board of Schering AG to agree on a compensation payment of
EUR 89.00 per share in the domination and profit and loss transfer
agreement. As compensation for future omitted dividend, the
guaranteed dividend in the amount of EUR 3.62 as determined by KPMG
shall be provided for.
The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Schering AG will
examine the Bayer offer and the KPMG report and will decide on the
domination and profit and loss transfer agreement over the next few
days.
