DVB share performance in 2010
Given the difficult financial market conditions, the DVB share price remained resilient throughout 2010, and was quite stable compared to the performance of other market participants. Over the course of 2010, traded volumes in DVB shares were subdued, with moderate volatility. The yearly high of €27.50 was reached on 13 January 2010, and the lowest price of €24.50 was recorded on 30 September as well as on 23 and 24 November 2010. The year-end share price was €25.00, unchanged year-on-year; DVB's market capitalisation thus amounted to €1.2 billion.
The comparatively stable share performance is attributable to the continued stability of the Bank's business development, and also to the narrow market in which the shares trade, due to the low free float.
Shareholders were paid a dividend of €0.60 per notional no-par value share from DVB Bank SE's net retained profit for 2009. The Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 9 June 2011 that the dividend payment remains unchanged at €0.60 per notional no-par value share for the 2010 business year.
