In March 2007, Wincor Nixdorf AG doubled the company’s subscribed capital through the issuance of new shares from €16,542,494.00 (divided into 16,542,494 ordinary shares) to €33,084,988.00 (divided into 33,084,988 ordinary shares). In accordance with IAS 33.64, the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share for 2005/2006 were restated.
The weighted average number of shares was reduced compared to fiscal 2005/2006, as a result of the share buyback programs in fiscal 2006/2007, which are described under Note 16.
The dilutive effect results from the share-based payment programs, which are described as well under Note 16.
