(Vienna) Gurktaler AG is the latest company to join the Vienna Stock Exchange and starts trading in the standard market auction segment on 8 February 2013. The listing on the Official Market does not involve a capital increase. The company, which specialises in the production of herbal liqueurs, was a spin-off from Schlumberger AG, which is also a Vienna-listed company. Gurktaler AG stocks can be traded once a day in the intra-day auction.
The management board of the Vienna Stock Exchange is very pleased about the new listing. “ Even though no fresh capital has been raised, the listing has ideally positioned the company for a possible capital increase at a later date,” stated Birgit Kuras and Michael Buhl.
