2Board service and historical holding-company roles

analysisPrime’s 2019 accounts name Manuel Pirolt as a management-board member from 19 June 2013, acting jointly with another member or authorized signatory. The same accounts describe a property group whose assets and financing sat in numerous project and holding companies. Pirolt’s statutory board position is distinct from ownership of that group: the record establishes an office and representation capacity, rather than an individual shareholding. 1

qualification
This is the 2019 reporting-date governance record; absent departure dates here do not establish that these offices remain current.

documentedSIGNA Prime's 2019 accounts state that all bank liabilities were property-secured, with mortgages and mortgage certificates totalling EUR 6,716.980 million, versus EUR 4,794.942 million in 2018; not all certificates were registered. Financing was generally arranged at individual project level with additional security. 1

qualification
Mortgage certificates and liens are security amounts, not equivalent to realized property values; not all certificates were actually entered in the land register.

analysisA historical register summary records Pirolt managing SIGNA Core Holding from June 2017 until the company’s December 2018 deletion following its merger into the Holding. Other managers included Stadlhuber, Keil and Tölle with their own periods. SIGNA Core’s name and successor history do not turn its former officers into direct shareholders of every company that later appeared in the group’s accounts. The former company remains useful to explain the structure as it existed during those mandates. 2 3 4

qualification
References via other companies, especially after Core’s deletion, cannot be treated as present direct shareholdings by Core.

attributedA historical summary gives SIGNA Core's managers as Christoph Stadlhuber and Wolfram Johannes Keil from 8 January 2015 to deletion on 20 December 2018, Frank Tölle to 1 February 2018 and Manuel Pirolt from 29 June 2017 to deletion. It also records the MICHEL Epsilon and Holding mergers. 2

qualification
This business-information record establishes the described actors, period and scope, not an independently confirmed later status.

attributedSIGNA Core Holding GmbH, FN 353543 t, was registered on 28 September 2010 with SIGNA Holding as shareholder and EUR 35,000 capital. Formerly SIGNA Invest, it was renamed in January 2015 and deleted on 20 December 2018 following merger into SIGNA Holding. 2 3 4

qualification
This business-information record establishes the described actors, period and scope, not an independently confirmed later status.

3Management and liquidation are separate capacities

analysisLaura 2017 Drei’s official register snapshot lists Pirolt as liquidator representing it from 18 September 2026. A business-information summary publishes the change on 26 September; the representation and publication dates must not be collapsed. A separate August 2026 entry records him leaving management of Laura 2017 Zwei. The two similarly named companies are distinct legal vehicles, and a departure from one is not a departure from all Laura-related mandates. 1 2

qualification
Distinguish the official representation date 18 September 2026 from the business-summary publication 26 September; former management and liquidation are separate roles.

analysisRegister summaries show Pirolt managing SIGNA Real Estate USA Management from April 2024, replacing Bernhard Jost, and becoming its liquidator in August 2025. They name Pirolt and Christoph Sturm as joint liquidators of BER Schicklerhaus Co-Invest Holding in August 2026. The same summaries show a bounded Berlin Ostbahnhof management term from September 2024 to November 2025 and departures from BDLC Immo and Berlin Charlottenstraße 61 during 2025. A liquidator is a corporate office distinct from the estate administrator; the presence of both in an insolvency record does not make them interchangeable. 1

qualification
This business-information record establishes the described actors, period and scope, not an independently confirmed later status.

4Later RFR-named and other mandates

analysisIn August 2025, summaries record Pirolt joining management of RFR Finance Verwaltungs and RFR Objekt Alsterarkaden. They also give a June 2025–June 2026 term at RFR 9. Immobilien Verwaltungs, July 2025 appointments at MF Beteiligung 1 and MF Frankfurt THA 70-74, and bounded roles at HaP Hotel-Besitz and Morello Consulting GP. A Berlin THA Immobilien appointment appears in June 2026. These entries describe formal mandates in separately named companies; they do not establish that every vehicle was owned by one group or that Pirolt personally owned it. 1

qualification
RFR corporate names and managerial mandates do not prove ownership of every vehicle by the RFR group or liability for the Chrysler venture.

5Personal bankruptcy and the July 2026 proposal

analysisA July 2026 creditor-association account reports Pirolt’s application for debt relief on 15 July: repayment of 0.0142% over five years, or a three-year discharge plan if creditors declined. Lodged claims totalled EUR 1,265,559,428.59, mostly disputed or unexamined. The administrator still had to examine feasibility. The account gives the opening date as 7 March 2025, while the earlier report gives 6 March. The association did not know whether he had been indicted; that absence of knowledge is not an exoneration. The repayment proposal was not an approved plan or a verified recovery rate. 1
