ALLIANZ AG: Contestation suits against formation of Allianz SE withdrawn Today Allianz AG reached a court settlement with the thirteen shareholders who had filed contestation suits against the resolutions taken at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on 8 February 2006. The settlement calls for the withdrawal of all contestation suits by the plaintiffs in return for reimbursement by Allianz AG of their court costs and legal attorney fees pursuant to the Attorney Remuneration Act (amounting to around 72,000 euros per plaintiff) . In addition, once the merger with the Italian RAS comes into effect, Allianz will publish on its website an explanation of the differences between the legal form of a German stock corporation and that of a European company (Societas Europaea). Besides the reimbursement of costs no benefit is granted, assured or announced to the plaintiffs. The documentation of the settlement will be published in the electronic Federal Gazette as well as on the website of Allianz AG. The agreement settles all contestation suits as well as the release procedure initiated by Allianz. The contestation suits therefore no longer stand in the way of the planned registration of the merger of RAS with Allianz and the conversion of Allianz into a SE in the autumn of 2006.
