centrotherm photovoltaics AG plans switch of stock market segment

Blaubeuren, March 26, 2014 – With Supervisory Board approval, the Management Board of centrotherm photovoltaics AG (ISIN: DE000A1TNMM9/DE000A1TNMN7) has today passed a resolution to seek a switch of the stock market segment of centrotherm photovoltaics AG from the General Standard of the Regulated Market to the Entry Standard of the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

This switch of stock market segment is intended to reduce the financial and organizational expense entailed in the shares’ listing on the Regulated Market. The quality Entry Standard segment will continue to provide shareholders with a high degree of transparency in the future.

In the Entry Standard, the tradability of the centrotherm photovoltaics AG share on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will be fully retained in its scope to date.
Inclusion in the Entry Standard segment of the Open Market is to occur when the revocation of the listing on the Regulated Market becomes effective. This revocation will become effective six months after it is published by the management of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Until this date, prospectively by September 2014, the shares of centrotherm photovoltaics AG will continue to be listed in the General Standard of the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
