(Vienna) Wiener Börse AG, a 100% subsidiary of CEESEG Aktiengesellschaft, the holding company of the CEE Stock Exchange Group, looks back a successful business year 2010 despite the difficult environment: The operating result (EBIT) for 2010 was EUR 24.92 million and the profit on ordinary business activity was EUR 29.18 million. It is not possible to compare these figures with the preceding year because of the split off of Wiener Börse AG and the restructuring carried out in mid-year 2009.
The general shareholders’ meeting held today also passed a resolution on the following changes to the Supervisory Board of Wiener Börse AG: Heimo Scheuch, current CEO of Wienerberger AG, will replace Wolfgang Reithofer, retired CEO of Wienerberger. Andreas Brandstetter, Deputy General Director of UNIQA Versicherungen AG will succeed Konstantin Klien, General Director of UNIQA Versicherungen AG.
