Further internationalization of shareholder structure
ThyssenKrupp analyzes its shareholder structure twice a year, focusing in particular on the regional
distribution of institutional investors. Among other things, these data form the basis for the planning of our
roadshows and participation in conferences. At the end of September 2011, the number of institutional
investors holding ThyssenKrupp shares was up significantly to 470 from 442 at the end of March 2011 and
434 in the prior year. At the same time the shareholder base has become even more international.
The most important region is now North America. Investors based there hold 15.3% of our capital stock.
Investors from continental Europe (excluding Germany) hold 12.2% of the capital stock, with France (3.4%)
and Norway (3.1%) the most important individual countries. 9.4% of the capital stock is held by investors in
the United Kingdom and Ireland, and 9.2% by investors in Germany.
The largest shareholder is the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, Essen, which holds
25.33% of the Company’s capital stock. Private investors around the world own a roughly 10% share of
ThyssenKrupp.
Following the sale of treasury shares in July 2011 ,ThyssenKrupp AG no longer holds any treasury shares;
details are provided in the section “Profile and Strategy”. As a result of this transaction, the free float
