Wisla Krakow hopes to score a goal on the WSE
A leading soccer team, Wisla Krakow, is to make its debut on the Warsaw
Stock Exchange (WSE) in the autumn. These are the plans of the main
shareholders of Wisla Krakow, Boguslaw Cupial and the company he controls
Tele-Fonika KFK. Jerzy Engel, the coach of Poland's national team in a
recent interview listed Wisla Krakow as the first team that would enter the
WSE, with Legia Warszawa, who is currently working on its prospectus, and
Amica Wronki following behind. On the other hand Cupial plans to withdraw
the shares of Tele-Fonika Kable from public trading. "We currently own 98.5%
the shares and we are not sure if we will announce more calls to buy shares.
In addition we still have not made a decision about what we will do with the
shares after we acquire them all," said Jan Kurbiel, a member of the
management in Tele-Fonika. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.K.
