Daniel Křetínský to hold his entire stake in EP Global Commerce through EP Group
30. 4. 2025
EP Global Commerce GmbH (EPGC) is a holding entity for acquiring, holding and administering the shareholding in METRO AG.
The shareholders of EPGC decided to align the shareholding chain through which Daniel Křetínský holds his stake in EPGC with the shareholding structure of the other major holdings controlled by him.
The decision to align the shareholding chain comes after the successfull completion of the public delisting acquisition offer for all free float shares of METRO AG through which EPGC increased its stake in METRO AG to approximately 68% and METRO AG became a private company.
Subject to the ownership control proceedings with the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), Daniel Křetínský will hold his entire stake in EPGC in the new shareholding structure via EP Group, a.s., which is controlled by him and will directly hold 56% +1 share in EP Global Commerce a.s. The application to BaFin for clearance was submitted on April 29 and approval is expected in the coming months.
