- The company keeps its top rankings in the Pan-European Extel Survey and Deutscher Investor Relations Preis
- CFO Thomas Dannenfeldt: "An impressive success story"
Outstanding communication with investors and analysts. Following a similar success last year, Deutsche Telekom's Investor Relations has once again won the most important prizes for investor relations. The company's Investor Relations team not only again won the "Deutscher Investor Relations Preis" of the German Investor Relations Association (DIRK). It again scored highest of all 1,652 participating listed companies in the Pan-European Extel Survey for the best investor relations work in Europe.
Stephan Eger, who will become CFO of T-Mobile Czech Republic as of July 1, headed the company's Investor Relations unit for eight years and was awarded the Deutscher Investor Relations Preis. To top off that accomplishment, the Extel Survey named him the "best IR professional" of more than 5,700 participants in Europe. Previously, in 20 years no company had ever won in both the company and individual (IR professional) categories of the Pan-European Extel Survey, a survey of more than 17,000 institutional investors around the world.
"Investor Relations work at Deutsche Telekom has been a very impressive success story. It has played a significant role in the strong performance of our share over the past few years," noted Thomas Dannenfeldt, Chief Financial Officer at Deutsche Telekom. "That's because our communication with analysts, major investors and – of course – with our private shareholders has been fair and reliable."
