Einbeck, June 7, 2006/19 – KWS SAAT AG (ISIN: DE0007074007) will join Deutsche Börse’s SDAX index on June 19, following a decision made by the stock exchange’s Arbeitskreis Aktienindizes (Share Indexes Working Group) at its regular meeting on June 6, 2006.
“We are delighted to be admitted to the high-quality SDAX index in the same year in which we are celebrating 150 years of KWS,” said Dr. Hagen Duenbostel, Chief Financial Officer of KWS SAAT AG. “This is the result of our stronger focus on the capital markets and our increase in free float in December 2004.”
