Aalst, 4 December 2009 – MONTEA (NYSE Euronext/MONT/MONTP) will carry out a capital reduction to the amount of EUR 15,388,104.741 2. This capital reduction offers Montea the possibility of safely paying out the announced dividend. Based on the results of the third quarter and the current perspectives, Montea will reach the prognoses of the net current profit.
Montea expects therefore for 2009 a dividend, equivalent to the dividend of 2008.
Due to the accounting issue conform to Article 617 of the Company Code, Montea found a solution that safely guarantees the paying out of the announced dividend.
This capital reduction will be carried out by incorporating past losses. This concerns EUR 15,388,104.74, bringing the capital of EUR 84,352,467.07 to EUR 68,964,362.33. No shares will be cancelled and the technical-accounting intervention will therefore not have any impact on the debt ratio, nor on the shareholders'equity/net asset value of the company, nor on the number of shares in circulation.
