The credit crisis, and the shadow it threw over fi nancial markets,
brought to an end the continuous rise in the Gimv share price
since the start of 2003.
Despite this, Gimv posted excellent results during the past fi nancial
year. It also took important steps for expanding its activities,
both sector-wise and geographically.
The share price reached its highest point at EUR 54.99 on
18 June 2007, and its lowest point of EUR 41.25 on 15 January
2008. The average price was EUR 48.68.
The average daily trading volume decreased signifi cantly from
50 173 shares in 2006-2007 to 35 232 during the past year.
This is mainly due to the private placement in October 2006.
The stock market price remained quite stable over the fi nancial
year (- 0.7 percent), despite the payment of major dividends.
The evolution of the market price, together with the dividends
paid, represents a gross yield for shareholders of 9.4 percent.
