The entry of the ordinary non-cash capital increase is currently planned for Thursday, 21 March 2024, following expiry of the six-month waiting period in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The new shares from this capital increase are then to be issued immediately to the holders of the existing STRABAG shares with ISIN AT0000A36HH9 (STRABAG SE – Distribution Share-Based Option).

The measures are aimed at reducing the shareholding interest of MKAO “Rasperia Trading Limited” in STRABAG to below 25%, specifically to around 24.1%, with the aim of minimising relevant disadvantages and risks to STRABAG SE associated with this shareholder.
