What happened to the Agfa VVPR Strips (ISIN code BE0005638128)?2017-02-01T09:02:55+01:00

In December 2015, the Board of Directors of the Agfa-Gevaert Group decided to cancel the VVPR Strips, which were linked to shares issued by Agfa-Gevaert NV. The company requested Euroclear to remove the VVPR Strips from their registers. These VVPR Strips used to give shareholders the right to enjoy lower withholding taxes on dividends. This fiscal advantage disappeared following a decision made by the Belgian authorities at the end of 2012. As a result, these VVPR Strips have become without any value or object and are no longer tradable.
