New market model:
The Baden-Württembergische stock exchange has decided to implement a new
market model, latest by the end of the year. Trading in warrants and
certificates will be executed electronically in the future. To safeguard
the trading quality and liquidity, EUWAX AG ought to be installed as
Quality-Liquidity-Provider (QLP) for the warrants and certificates
segments. EUWAX AG and boerse-stuttgart AG will contribute by the
implementation of the new market model, after the supervisory boards of the
two companies gave their approvals by today.
Dividend 2005:
In the context of the determination of the annual accounts, the EUWAX AG
decided to continue the investor focused payout policy of the last years.
The companies’ management and supervisory board determined to participate
the shareholders accordingly to the enhanced net profit of the company for
the business year 2005.
The annual accounts (31.12.2005) were set up under the consideration of the
proposal for the disposal of the annual results.
After the allocation of 8.3 mln. € coming out of the net profit (under
German accounting rules) of 16.7 mln. € of the business year 2005, to the
other retained earnings and the addition of the accumulated profits (2004)
of 124 k€, the balance sheet profit (German accounting) shows a number of
8.5 mln. €.
It will be suggested to the annual general meeting (14.07.2006) to payout a
dividend of 1.60 € per share (total payout: 8.2 mln. €) to the capital
stock of 5.15 mln. € and to book from the remaining stake of the (German
accounting) balance sheet profit of 216 k€, a part of the total sum of 200
k€ to the other retained earnings and to carry forward 16 k€ to new
accounts.
To take own stocks into consideration, a potential related sum would be
also carried forward to new accounts.
