Evonik promoted to MDAX
Shares of the specialty chemicals company Evonik Industries AG will join the MDAX effective September 23, 2013. This was announced by Deutsche Börse AG yesterday evening. The MDAX share index comprises the shares of Germany’s 50 largest listed companies, following those of the DAX, in terms of market capitalization and trading volume.
Evonik’s CEO, Dr. Klaus Engel, comments: “Evonik’s upgrade to the MDAX just months after our initial share listing on April 25, 2013 reflects the high level of interest generated among investors. Inclusion in the MDAX will mean greater visibility for Evonik on the international financial markets. For the future, that gives us even more motivation to continue tight adherence to our corporate strategy and its key elements of profitable growth, efficiency and values.”
