Second listing of <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> on the Warsaw Stock Exchange<br />
<strong>IMMOEAST</strong> combined its most recent capital increase with a second listing on the Warsaw Stock<br />
Exchange, and trading began on 25 May 20<strong>07</strong>. Prior to this date, <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> shares were tendered to<br />
private investors in Poland through a public subscription offer. This issue drew substantial interest<br />
and was heavy oversubscribed, with the banks unable to fill all orders by Polish investors.<br />
The start of trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange represents an important step by <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> to<br />
broaden the international structure of its shareholder base. In addition to numerous institutional<br />
investors that hold stakes in the company, there are now a larger number of private shareholders<br />
outside Austria. <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> was also able to add numerous shareholders through public subscription<br />
offerings in the Czech Republic and Slovakia during <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong>.<br />
The listing in Warsaw is also of major importance for institutional investors. <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> has always<br />
been an “eastern company” from a business standpoint, but its listing in Vienna as an Austrian<br />
corporation marked it as a “western company” – and, for this reason, some institutional investors<br />
were unable to purchase <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> shares based on their investment guidelines. That problem has<br />
now been eliminated with the start of trading in Warsaw. <strong>IMMOEAST</strong> management has confirmed<br />
that there are no plans to apply for further stock exchange listings at the present time.
