The deal involves a voluntary public cash takeover offer of €5.55 per share for all outstanding Berentzen shares, representing a premium of approximately 68% over Berentzen’s unaffected three-month volume-weighted average share price on XETRA prior to September 16, 2026. Sazerac CEO, Jake Wenz, expressed appreciation for Berentzen’s history in the German market and their commitment to preserving existing sites, employees, and brands while expanding production and distribution of spirits across Europe.",
