ZWANENBURG, the Netherlands–(Business Wire)–
Regulatory News:
3W Power Holdings (Amsterdam:3WP) (3WP, ISIN GG00B39QCR01, WKN A0Q5SX) is the
holding company of AEG Power Solutions, a global player in power electronics.
3WPower Holdings/AEG Power Solutions has commissioned Close Brothers Seydler
Bank AG as designated sponsor for its shares. The leading German bank for this
task will therefore guarantee the liquidity required for continuous Xetra
trading (the electronic trading system of Deutsche Börse AG) of 3W Power
Holdings shares. Tradability was therefore increased from once a day, “one
auction only”, to the entire trading period of the Xetra system. Investors are
now able to continuously trade their shares in Xetra. This change is intended to
increase the share`s liquidity and create efficient trading conditions for all
existing and potential shareholders.
Designated sponsors supply the electronic trading system Xetra with additional
liquidity by providing quotes for any shares within their responsibility during
continuous trading and auctions.
Commissioning a designated sponsor is another step for 3WPower Holdings/AEG
Power Solutions towards realizing a change of the listing from Open Market to
the segment Prime Standard at Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In the second half of
2010, the company`s shares shall be authorized for a listing in the Prime
Standard in Frankfurt. The company is already listed on the Euronext in
Amsterdam.
