Noerr Advises TAG Immobilien AG on Implementation of First Stock Dividend

Noerr, led by Dr. Stephan Schulz, advised Hamburg-based TAG Immobilien AG on the implementation of its first stock dividend, a move that offers shareholders the option to receive the dividend for the 2024 financial year entirely in cash or partly in cash and partly in the form of new TAG shares. This innovative approach allows shareholders to reinvest dividend entitlements in TAG shares at an attractive price. The increased liquidity resulting from the reduced cash outflow will be used to support TAG's further growth.
