Trade

ABO Wind was converted into a stock company in the year 2000. In the beginning, shares (ISIN: DE0005760029) were traded on off-exchange platforms like Valora. Between 2012 and 2016, the share was traded over the counter on the Düsseldorf stock exchange. Since August 2016, ABO Wind is listed on the Hamburg stock exchange.

The Managing Directors have committed to their shareholders to ensure a listing at no less than the current over-the-counter market level in case the current listing in Hamburg is terminated, for which there are no indicators.

Increasing free float

Shares are rarely traded due to a unique shareholder structure: The founders’ families own more than half of the shares, the energy supplier Mainova holds another 10 percent.

We aim to increase free float to make the share more attractive. As a first step, ABO Wind issued convertible bonds: Between May 2018 and February 2019, more than 300 investors bought approxi-mately 767,000 bonds with a par value of 11.5 million euros. These bonds can be converted into regu-lar shares at a ratio of 1:1 in October 2019.

Regular dividend distribution

In recent years, ABO Wind shareholders have profited from a good share price performance and regular dividend distributions. The largest part of our net profit is allocated to retained earnings to finance the operative growth and keep the equity ratio at more than 40 percent. The dividend payout ratio is at around 20 percent of our net profit.
