CMS advises Capital Stage on scrip dividend

Frankfurt/Main – CMS has again advised Hamburg-based solar plant and wind farm operator Capital Stage on issuing a scrip dividend. This is the fourth time that Capital Stage has given its shareholders the choice of receiving the dividend in cash or in the form of new shares in the company. This year’s cash dividend was EUR 0.20 per share. The acceptance rate for the scrip dividend was over 50%.

A CMS team headed by lead partner Dr Andreas Zanner advised the company on all legal aspects of structuring and implementation. Capital Stage has relied on the expertise of CMS lawyers on a regular basis for a number of years.
