S&T wins 3rd place in the 2007 Small-Cap Stock Exchange Awards

S&T’s 2007 share price performance: +36% from the beginning of the year

18th October 2007. S&T has received the 3rd place in the 'Small-Cap Stock Exchange Award for 2007'. The annual GEWINN stock market awards recognize those companies from the prime market which keep their shareholders most comprehensively informed and this year small and mid-cap companies have for the first time been given the opportunity to receive this special award. In recognition of S&T’s diverse measures aimed at providing investors and the media with comprehensive information and transparency, the company was rewarded with third place in this category.
Boersepreis_2007 Prof. Dr. Georg Wailand, editor of business magazine GEWINN, yesterday awarded Martin Bergler, CFO of the S&T Group, the 2007 Small-Cap Stock Exchange Award at the Stock Exchange Award Ceremony. The award’s criterion – an open, accurate, comprehensive and competent information policy vis-a-vis shareholders and the media – had unquestionably been fulfilled by S&T as one of the winner of its category. “We are extremely pleased with this award, which will give us the incentive to continue our efforts with regard to the provision of information, and we would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate the other winners”, explained Martin Bergler. “Our goal has always been to implement professional communication measures within the framework of an efficient budget. The award shows that we have been successful in achieving this goal.”

For some years now the GEWINN Stock Exchange Awards have nominated Viennese Prime Market companies which keep their shareholders informed in the most open, timely and comprehensive way. The magazine GEWINN and the Austrian Association for Financial Analysis and Asset Management (ÖVFA) determine in the first instance those companies which are to be short-listed. An expert jury then decides on the winners. S&T now joins a long list of renowned Austrian companies that have received the award over recent years.

Excellent share performance

Not only is the information about S&T’s shares exemplary, but the movement in the share price itself is even more spectacular. In 2006 alone, it increased by 48%, and the company’s market capitalization by 54%. This year the shares have continued to rise sharply, with no evidence of a slow-down. In April they reached an all-time-high of 59.20 euros and even during the turbulent summer months the shares continued their steady upward trend. From the beginning of 2007, S&T shares have increased by 36%.
