PRESS RELEASE | 31. AUGUST 2015

AGM of Weng Fine Art AG takes place in Dusseldorf on September 21, 2015
The Annual General Meeting of Weng Fine Art AG (WFA) will be held on September 21, 2015 at 2:00pm - at the NRW Forum Dusseldorf.  
The invitation to the AGM is available since August 19, on the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and on the website of the Company www.wengfineart.com. A key topic is the dividend: After the business benefited from considerable momentum in the first half of 2015, and with the strategic choices from the past two years of transition producing results earlier than expected, the shareholders will receive a year-on-year unchanged dividend of EUR 0.11 per share: "As a bonus for their loyalty to the company, as a signal of sustainable shareholder value, and as a small advance on the yield potential in the coming years," says WFA CEO Rüdiger K. Weng. The company founder also makes sure that the shareholder's capital of the Company won't be reduced: Together with his asset management company, he waives his own dividend to the advantage of the independent shareholders.

In addition, the CEO will report to the Annual General Meeting on current business developments, and the medium-term strategy of the art trading Company listed on the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Furthermore, an update on the development of WFA Online, which is operating in Zug/Switzerland, will be presented.

Following the Shareholder's Meeting, the e-commerce platform of the WFA group "Weng Contemporary" will present highlights from their product range, including works by Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz, Robert Longo, Anish Kapoor and Peter Doig.
