Deutsche EuroShop plans dividend increase and share split
Hamburg, 19 April 2007 – The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of
Deutsche EuroShop AG resolved at their meeting today to propose the
following, among other things, to the shareholders at the Annual General
meeting to be held on 21 June 2007:
A dividend increase from EUR 2.00 to EUR 2.10 per share (+5%), to enable
shareholders to share directly in the Company’s success in 2006. The aim is
for the dividend to amount to at least EUR 2.10 in the coming years as
well.
A capital increase from capital reserves and a subsequent share split, in
order to make the Company’s share capital more manageable. This will serve
to reduce the notional value per share from EUR 1.28 to the normal figure
of EUR 1.00 and to increase the number of shares in issue. At the same
time, it should also increase the liquidity of the shares.
In concrete terms, a proposal will be made to the shareholders to increase
the share capital of EUR 21,999,998.72, currently composed of 17,187,499
shares, by EUR 12,374,999.28 to EUR 34,374,998.00 without issuing new
shares. Immediately after this, the share capital will be reclassified by
performing a 1:2 share split. As a result of the capital increase, the
number of shares issued by the Company would increase from 17,187,499 to
34,374,998. It is planned for shareholders to receive one additional bonus
share for each regular share in their possession.
