H&R AG updates schedule and preliminary figures for 2012
Salzbergen, 27 March 2013. H&R AG has decided to update its business plan.
Therefore, publication of the Annual Report, first announced for 28 March
2013, is being postponed to 26 April 2013. The General Shareholders Meeting
will, accordingly, take place on 23 July 2013. The updated preliminary
results will be reported today.
'With the 2012 Annual Report, we feel a need not only to come to terms with
the past, but also comprehensively to focus on our future prospects',
emphasises Niels H. Hansen, CEO of H&R AG. 'The past year has shown that
the measures we instituted to increase efficiency were both necessary and
effective. Therefore, we have compiled an even more comprehensive catalogue
of measures aimed at a sustainable stabilisation of our profitability
situation. '
In the interest of the Company, but above all of the shareholders, it is
now necessary comprehensively to consider and examine these steps in regard
to their effect on the Company's profitability and financial planning.
Corporate responsibility towards investors also requires that the pertinent
decisions be clearly and fully communicated to the shareholders. 'For this
purpose, we are taking extra time within the regulatory deadlines available
to us for the preparation of the Annual Report', explains Hansen.
