MURRAY HILL, N.J. (Reuters) - Telecommunications equipment firm Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU - News) on Monday said it completed its spinoff of its former optical components unit Agere Systems Inc. (NYSE:AGRa - News) on June 1.

The company said it distributed 37 million shares of Agere Class A common stock and 908.1 million shares of Agere Class B common stock to holders of Lucent common stock as of the close of business on May 3.

Lucent spun off Agere in an initial public offering in March 2001, but still owned an equity stake of about 58 percent in the company. The spinoff of the remaining shares had originally been planned for last fall, but was delayed because Lucent did not meet certain financial requirements under its bank agreements

Lucent ist heute nicht im MINUS sondern 4% im Plus. Agere ist als Dividende anzusehen und somit wird Lucent heute ex gehandelt. In Deutschland wird das bloß nicht in den Systemen richtig verarbeitet. Schaut einfach mal morgen oder übermorgen in die Depots, dann sind die Aktien von Agere A und B gebucht, an eurer Stückzahl von Lucent hat sich aber nichts geändert. Wer heute früh nicht verkauft hat war selber schuld, das es jedes mal so ist. vgl. auch Spin off von Avaya in 2000.

In diesem Sinne, AKOR
