“Belonging to this segment is a key factor in improving the Company’s visibility on the capital market,” explained Executive Board member Claus-Matthias Böge. As a result, the Company will also be publishing quarterly reports and holding annual analyst conferences among other things in future, in line with Deutsche Börse AG’s post-admission obligations.
Deutsche EuroShop AG recently announced a 37% increase in its operating result to € 24.8 million for financial year 2002. The Company plans once again to use its unappropriated surplus of € 30 million to distribute a tax-free dividend of € 1.92 per share.
The Company’s admission to the new stock market segment and the continuation of its established dividend policy have created a solid basis on which it can gain the confidence of additional shareholders and interested parties.
