EANS-News: SMT Scharf AG promoted to SDAX index
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate news transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer/originator is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company Information Hamm (euro adhoc) - September 24, 2012 - SMT Scharf AG (German Securities Code [WKN] 575198, ISIN DE0005751986), technology and world market leader for rail-bound railway systems for underground mines, has today been included into Deutsche Börse AG's SDAX index. The reason for this modification of the SDAX index is the exclusion of Schuler AG, which no longer satisfies the requirements for the index due to its free float being too low. The inclusion of SMT Scharf AG was made possible firstly through the positive trend in its share trading volume. Secondly, the market capitalisation has risen further given a free float of almost 95 %. The share of SMT Scharf AG has appreciated by 31 % to EUR 25.55 since mid-June. Christian Dreyer, CEO of SMT Scharf AG, regards the promotion to the index as a further chapter in the company's successful capital market history: "We are pleased by our promotion to the SDAX index, and regard it as confirmation of our growth strategy. This is a further major step since our IPO in 2007, which makes us even more attractive for investors. Accordingly, we are firmly committed to our objective of continuing growth of sales and profit."
