Bertelsmann completes change of legal form to SE & Co. KGaA

Tuesday 21. August 2012 - Bertelsmann, the international media company, will from now on do business as Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. The change of legal form from Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation) to Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (KGaA; partnership limited by shares) with a SE (Societas Europaea) as general partner was completed with the entry in the company register.

The conversion was an “identity-preserving change of legal form,” wherein the Group’s ownership structure and corporate structure remain unchanged. Nor does it change anything for the employees.
