TAKKT welcomes intended increase in free float
Extensive investor information and international roadshows planned
Stuttgart, 10 June 2013. The Managing Board of TAKKT AG welcomes Haniel's
plans to reduce its holding in TAKKT from 70.44 percent to as low as 50.01
percent and its ongoing commitment to remain a long-term majority
shareholder in TAKKT.
The increased free float by up to 69 percent will improve the liquidity of
the share significantly and thereby add to its attractiveness to existing
and new investors. 'Haniel's concurrent announcement to remain majority
shareholder gives TAKKT an excellent platform from which to continue its
active portfolio and growth strategy and its ongoing development into a
leading multi-channel direct marketing company with the support of its
majority shareholder Haniel,' said Felix Zimmermann, CEO of TAKKT.
The Managing Board will report on the strategic and operative measures and
developments in detail at roadshows in the coming weeks.
TAKKT will publish its half-year figures on 30 July 2013. At the same time,
TAKKT will specify its outlook regarding one of the three scenarios for the
financial year released at the beginning of the year. The forecasted
development depends on timing and the degree of the European economy's
recovery.
