|
Will the share buyback have any impact on normal trading in Walter Meier shares? |
|
The share buyback will have no impact on ordinary trading in Walter Meier shares. Only the volume of trading on the first line may increase because of the share buyback. |
|
Will the share buyback through the second trading line have any impact on the share price? |
|
The share buyback will have no direct impact on the Walter Meier share price. Earnings per share will increase because of the reduction in the number of outstanding shares, which may have a positive impact on the share price. |
