PRESS RELEASE | 19 October 2012
Bonus shares of Weng Fine Art AG will be issued on 1 November
Following the approval of the resolution at the shareholders' meeting (AGM)
on 24 September, Weng Fine Art (WFA) will give bonus shares to its
shareholders. The distribution will be made on 1 November after the close
of the stock exchange in the ratio of 4 : 1. For each WFA share held on
this day, investors will receive an additional four shares, which will be
automatically posted and tradable from 2 November. This share split does
not however have an impact on the market capitalisation of the company.
The basis for issuing bonus shares is the capital increase out of retained
earnings, adopted at the AGM and listed in the Commercial Register on 10
October, through which the share capital of the art dealer will be
increased from EUR 550,000 to EUR 2,750,000 million. The number of issued
shares will also increase to 2.75 million.
'The optical price reduction of the WFA shares connected with the bonus
shares will give the stock more liquidity and will also lead to higher
stock market turnover,' CEO Rüdiger K. Weng explains and referring to the
free float, that will expand to more than 700,000 shares. Together with the
dividend doubled to EUR 0.30, this large capital increase out of retained
earnings also reflects the sustainable income and equity strength of the
company, which already issued bonus shares as recently as last year.
