Uniper shares jumped in early trading following a
share-reduction move that the German utility said will restore
dividends.
At 0820 GMT, shares in Uniper were up 9.7% at EUR4.29.
After markets closed on Friday, Uniper shareholders approved a
plan to reduce share capital to about 416 million euros ($447.7
million) from about EUR14 billion. The plan will restore Uniper's
ability to pay dividends, Chief Executive Officer Michael Lewis
said last week.
The approval also cleared the way for the German government to
exit the company, Uniper said.
The German government took over Uniper in 2022, injecting
billions of euros following Russian gas curtailments stemming from
the war in Ukraine.
