Subject to the consent of the Wiener Börse AG general shareholders’ meeting in December, and to the consent of the relevant supervisory authorities, Wiener Börse AG plans to set up a holding company that will act as an umbrella for the group of exchanges, which consists of the Stock Exchanges Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana and Prague.
