22 December 2008 - InCity Immobilien AG, a group of companies specialised in the planning and realisation of high-quality properties in inner city locations, has decided to support the InCity share price and is committed to making a clear statement of trust, especially to its long-term investors. "Our share has performed considerably better than the relevant indexes in the past few months. But on the whole, InCity's market capitalisation fails to reflect the intrinsic value of the company and its expected future development," explains Management Board member André Peto.
Against this backdrop, the InCity management, which holds about two-thirds of the shares, has committed to extending the lock-up agreement for the coming 36 months, which applies to the majority of the shares it holds. In addition to that, the company has started selectively buying back shares in line with the share buy-back programme approved by the AGM on 8 May 2008. According to that, the company is entitled to buy back up to 250,000 shares until 7 November 2009.
André Peto: "The measures we have taken support the long-term increase in the value of our company. This is based on the extremely dynamic and positive business development the company has seen since inception, which also applies to 2008. Despite a downturn in the market our business model stood its ground. We are also going to be showing this resilience against crisis in 2009."
