++ Heliad to execute capital reduction by a 10 to 1 ratio on 20 February
++ ISIN to be changed on 23 February 2009
++ Heliad will bear the conversion costs of up to EUR 5 per custodian
account
Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE0006047293 / WKN: 604729)
announced that the ordinary capital reduction by a 10 to 1 ratio, i.e. from
EUR 70 million to EUR 7 million in share capital, will be executed after
the market close on 20 February 2009. The measure was adopted by the
extraordinary shareholders' meeting on 16 December 2008 and made effective
by entry in the Commercial Register on 2 February 2009.
Heliad shareholders will then receive a new 'converted' no-par value share
with a pro rata amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00 (ISIN DE000A0L1NN5)
for every 10 no-par value shares with a pro rata amount of the share
capital of EUR 1.00 per share (ISIN DE0006047293). The shares with the new
ISIN, the reduced share capital and the new share price will be quoted at
the start of trading on Monday, 23 February 2009. The measure will
accordingly raise the share price by a factor of 10.
If the consolidation should result in fractions, the custodian banks will
endeavour to arrive at an accepted pairing for these shares (ISIN
DE000A0DRX78) as instructed by their customers. Heliad Equity Partners will
bear the costs for the conversion of its shareholders' custodian accounts
at an amount of up to EUR 5.00 per converted custodian account.
