CASER joins Helvetia and opens a month to redeem securities

Helvetia Corporate Insurance & Services de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A., previously Caja de Seguros Reunidos, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A. (CASER), has opened the process for the replacement of its securities after executing the change of corporate name. The announcement, signed in Madrid on November 12, 2026, by the non-member secretary of the board of directors, Ángel Ramón Abad Almeda, is published in the Official Gazette of the Mercantile Registry (BORME) no. 218, dated November 13, 2026, page 7510, with the official reference BORME-C-2026-6050. The operation affects all shareholders of the company.

The name change was agreed upon by the General Shareholders’ Meeting at its meeting on September 30, 2026, and formalized by a deed authorized on the same day by the Madrid notary José Luis López de Garayo y Gallardo, under number 3,542 of his protocol. The registration was carried out in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid and, on that basis, the Board of Directors agreed on November 10, 2026, to issue new multiple nominative securities representing the shares with the new corporate name.

The legal framework invoked is article 117 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010, of July 2, which approves the consolidated text of the Capital Companies Act. The immediate registry precedent was published in the BORME of October 19, 2026: the change of corporate name from CASER to HELVETIA CORPORATE INSURANCE & SERVICES DE SEGUROS Y REASEGUROS, S.A., registered in sheet M-39662 of the Mercantile Registry of Madrid (entry I/A 1446, of October 13, 2026). Days later, on October 22, the same gazette recorded the creation of the corporate website www.helvetia.es already under the new name.

A one-month deadline and delivery against physical securities

The procedure established by the company sets a schedule and specific conditions for the shareholders:

• The deadline is one month counted from the date of the last of the two publications of the announcement, in the Official Gazette of the Mercantile Registry and in the newspaper La Razón.
• Shareholders must appear at the registered office of the company to collect their new securities or request their shipment within that period.
• Delivery or shipment is carried out upon presentation of the previously issued physical securities or documents proving ownership of the shares.

What happens to uncollected securities

Those who do not appear for the replacement nor prove their ownership within the one-month period do not lose their status as a shareholder, but their securities follow a specific procedure:

• The certificates shall be nullified and replaced by the new issued certificates, following a new announcement in the Official Gazette of the Mercantile Registry and in the newspaper in which this notice was published.
• The new certificates shall remain deposited at the registered office at the disposal of the shareholders who justify their right.
• After three years from the establishment of the deposit, pursuant to article 117.3 of the Capital Companies Act, the certificates may be sold by the company for the account and risk of the interested parties, with the intervention of a notary.
• The net amount of said sale shall remain deposited at the disposal of the interested parties in the Bank of Spain or in the General Deposit Fund.

The change extends across the entire group

The new name has already been transferred to the subsidiary companies. The BORME of October 26, 2026, recorded the confirmation of the change of name of the sole partner or shareholder in companies such as Caser Residencial, S.A., Caser Servicios Integrales, S.A., Caser Servicios de Salud, S.A., Caser Residencial Inmobiliaria, S.A., Caser Formación, S.L., Caser Marketing Directo, S.L., Casavi, Asistencia en Viaje, S.L., Aldebarán Riesgo SCR, S.A., Arrienda Gestión, S.A., Parque Hospitales Baleares, S.L., Servicios Funerarios Iria, S.L. and Clínicas Avetmas, S.A.

The new name is the culmination of the corporate process initiated with the integration of the Swiss business in Spain: in June 2025, CASER as the absorbing company and Helvetia Compañía Suiza Sociedad Anónima de Seguros y Reaseguros and Helvetia Holding Suizo, S.A.U. as the absorbed companies approved a merger by absorption, announced in BORME no. 119, of June 25, 2025, subject to the authorization of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Enterprise provided for in Law 20/2015, of July 14, on the organization, supervision and solvency of insurance and reinsurance entities.

The relevance of the notice is practical: any shareholder who holds physical certificates of the former CASER must mobilize them within one month to avoid their nullification and subsequent deposit at the registered office. The company retains its registration identity on sheet M-39662 of the Mercantile Registry of Madrid, so that the change affects the name and the representation of the shares, not the legal existence of the entity nor its status as a supervised insurer.
