DGAP-News: IMMOFINANZ AG / Key word(s): Real Estate IMMOFINANZ AG becomes the first real estate company to join the ATX five

07.03.2012 / 14:55

The ATX committee meeting on 6 March 2012 officially approved a step that was signalled mathematically several days before: as the first company in the real estate branch, IMMOFINANZ AG successfully completed the leap into the ATX five Index. The IMMOFINANZ share was first added to the leading index of the Vienna Stock Exchange in March 2011.

Yesterday evening, the ATX committee confirmed the adjustment of the ATX five: The IMMOFINANZ share replaces Telekom Austria and represents the first property company in the Austrian top five. During the last five trading days (at the end of February) IMMOFINANZ AG outpaced Telekom Austria and thereby met the respective stock exchange requirements. The new composition of the index will take effect on 19 March.

Only one year after inclusion in the ATX, we have now joined the ATX five - which further underscores the importance of IMMOFINANZ AG for the Austrian financial market. This will give us greater visibility and strengthen our position in the leading index - and should also have a positive effect on the share development, commented Eduard Zehetner, Chairman of the Executive Board of IMMOFINANZ AG. The IMMOFINANZ share now joins OMV, Erste Group, Voestalpine and Andritz as one of the five largest stocks in Vienna.

The ATX five is a price index that is weighted by market capitalisation, and comprises the five ATX shares with the highest weighting. The calculation is based on the ATX and takes place in real time. The ATX representation and fundamental factors are also used for this calculation, with the weighting of the individual shares identical to their standing in the ATX. The last change in the composition of the ATX five was made in December 2010. The ATX committee meets quarterly at the beginning of March, June, September and December.
