The Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG has just been informed this evening that HVB Group is selling its interest of 4,786,560 ordinary shares – representing 27.7 percent of the voting capital – in a bookbuilding procedure.
The Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG welcomes the sale in the planned procedure as this will make for a considerably broader market base for the share. In connection with merging of the preference and ordinary shares planned at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 20 July 2005 as well as the issuance of bonus shares in a ratio of 1:1, this could enhance the attractiveness of the Rhön-Klinikum share.
