adidas-Salomon ANNUAL REPORT 2000
5
Shareholder Information
Investor Relations activities focused on introducing new
Management to the financial community. In addition to increased
investor
meetings and industry conference participation,
adidas-Salomon
conducted its first ever Investor Day event in
New York in October. Presentations were made to detail the
new global marketing strategy, plans for North America and
global supply chain management.
In new media activities, the Investor Relations internet site
www.adidas.com/investor was improved and expanded in 2000.
The site now includes corporate history, investor news, current
and historical share price information, quarterly earnings reports
and presentations, as well as a list of financial analysts who
cover our Company and a summary of their recommendations.
The Investor Newsletter function makes investor-relevant press
releases, annual and quarterly report notification and updates
to the financial calendar available. Investor e-mail inquiries can
be made at investor[email protected]. Copies of the annual
report can also be ordered online. This site was recently ranked
number two and number three among DAX companies in two
leading German financial publications.
adidas-Salomon is committed to extending and improving its
dialog with private and institutional investors going forward.
In 2001, we will be webcasting all our analyst conferences to
ensure full disclosure to all interested parties. After a successful
premiere in 2000, we also intend to broadcast our shareholders’
meeting on the internet.
