DVB share performance in 2009
In 2009, the DVB share was unable to continue the positive upward trend of years past as a result of the challenging market conditions. The share price did, however, prove to be quite stable compared to the share prices of other market participants.
Over the course of 2009, traded volumes in DVB shares were subdued, with moderate volatility. The yearly high of €28.00 was reached on 5 August 2009, with the low of €21.00 reached on 9 June 2009, the day preceding the Annual General Meeting. The moderate share price decline from €26.10 to €25.00 at year-end, a 4.2% loss, proved encouraging. By extension, the Bank's market capitalisation also underwent a slight 4.1% decrease from €1.21 billion to €1.16 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 2008. The Supervisory Board and the Board of Managing Directors will propose at the Annual General Meeting on 9 June 2010 that the dividend payment remains unchanged at €0.60 per share for the 2009 business year.
