Weng Fine Art AG raises Dividend by 67% and intends to issue Bonus Shares
Weng Fine Art AG (WFA) intends to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.25 per
share for the financial year 2011/12. Compared to the previous year this
corresponds to an increase of EUR 0.10 or 67%. In addition, the art dealer,
that has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since the beginning of
the year, wants to propose the issue of bonus shares in the ratio of 1 : 1
at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 24 September 2012 in Krefeld.
The shareholders would therefore receive an additional share for each WFA
share they hold.
'We want to let our shareholders participate in an appropriate way in our
record results of last year whilst at the same time uphold our successful
payout history', explains CEO Rüdiger K. Weng and points out that Weng Fine
Art AG has been paying progressively rising dividends since 2004. Bonus
shares are also not a novelty for the company shareholders: Already in the
past year the company had distributed bonus shares in the ratio of 1 : 1
out of company funds. Moreover, the decisions of the Board of Directors and
Supervisory Board emphasise their great optimism with regard to the future
development of the business.
The agenda of the Annual General Meeting will be published in August in the
German federal electronic gazette ('Elektronischer Bundesanzeiger') and
sent to those shareholders on the company share register.
