Investor Relations in Q2

In March 2006 two further prestigious research houses, Berenberg Bank and Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz (LRP), began covering Wincor Nixdorf, bringing to 19 the total number of analysts watching the Company and commenting on its performance.

Pursuant to Section 21 of the German Securities Trading Law, the following companies held interests of greater than 5% of Wincor Nixdorf’s total share capital as of March 31, 2006:

  • Schroders plc.
  • Threadneedle Asset Management Limited/Ameriprise Financial Inc.

The ordinary annual general meeting of Wincor Nixdorf AG shareholders held in Paderborn on February 21, 2006 was attended by delegates representing over 59% of votes. All voting items on the agenda met with widespread approval. Opposing motions received by the Company were published on the Company’s website at www.wincor-nixdorf.com.

During Q2, the Board of Directors and the investor relations team made company presentations and conducted a great many discussions with institutional investors at roadshows in Germany (Frankfurt), the UK (London and Edinburgh), France (Paris), Italy (Milan), Switzerland (Lugano), the USA (New York, Boston and Chicago) and Canada (Montreal and Toronto). The same happened at the Cheuvreux German Corporate Conference on January 18, 2006 in Kronberg (Germany) where, like last year, international investors showed significant interest in discussions with representatives of the Company.

In addition, a telephone conference for analysts was held to coincide with publication of the Company’s Q1 2005/2006 results. The Company’s annual Wincor World exhibition held in Paderborn also played host to the “2nd Wincor Nixdorf Investors’ Day” on January 25, 2006 which featured a comprehensive program of information for investors and analysts.
