Schopfloch, 26. September 2007. As of 1. October 2007 the HOMAG Group AG
rises into the SDAX of the German Stock Exchange, the Small Cap-Index in
which 50 share holding companies are listed. The world-wide leading
producer of machines and equipment in the woodworking industry has been
listed since July 13. 2007 in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange and meets the acceptance criteria of the German Stock Exchange for
the SDAX in regards to market capitalization and turnover volume.
'From the very beginning our goal was to be accepted in the SDAX. We are
happy that our shares already now, after less than 3 months on the stock
exchange, rise into the attractive index outside the normal schedule and
thus becomes even more interesting for investors and fond managers',
acclaims financial director Andreas Hermann.
Reason for the unscheduled index change is the rise of the Arques
Industries AG from the SDAX into the MDAX. In the MDAX a place had become
free through the acquisition of the Depfa Bank by Hypo Real Estate.
