The following question was raised at the General Meeting:
What activities is the Company planning in order to increase the trading volume with Krka’s share on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, which has been relatively low in the recent period?
Jože Colaric, Chief Executive, responded: For several years Krka has been regularly actively promoting Krka to the domestic and foreign investors. The purpose is to increase interest and demand for Krka’s shares on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In the current year we have even intensified the activities on this field. We have attended several investor conferences in Slovenia and abroad. Furthermore, we have also organised investor roadshow in major European financial centres. One can also expect that the partnership of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange with foreign strategic partner could increase the demand of foreign investors, which would increase the trading volumes on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.
There were no challenging actions presented on the Annual General Meeting.
