Participation in investor conferences:

(April 14, 2023): Institutional Investors Conference in Zürs, Austria, organized by RAIFFEISEN Bank

(June 13, 2023): ATHEX Mid Cap Events in Geneva, Switzerland, organized by Athens Exchange

(June 22, 2023): ATHEX Mid Cap Events in Paris organized by Athens Exchange

ACAG continues its investor relations program with further meetings with institutional investors and brokerages, presenting its strategy and performance. It plans to take part in the ATHEX Mid Cap Events to be held in Frankfurt in October 30, as well as in other conferences that will take place in important financial centers like London.

Furthermore, at the June 30, 2023 AGM, the shareholders of the company approved an authorization to the management board to adopt a buyback program for the company’s own shares with a duration of 30 months, which will allow the purchase of up to 10% of the company’s share capital.

At the same AGM a capital increase by capitalization of reserves was approved that, following the required regulatory procedures, will lead to the doubling of shares outstanding, thus a corresponding reduction in the stock exchange price of the shares is to be expected.. This development, to be effected when the new shares are admitted for trading in the Vienna and Athens exchanges, is expected to enhance the tradability of ACAG shares.
