Week in Review 21/19

Welcome and thanks for reading!

In this review, I will make a summary of important and interesting news and events over the last week related to my portfolio holdings. Also, I will put together some interesting articles from other websites that caught my attention during the past week.

• € 89.40 - Oriflame Holding AG
• € 31.36 - Lazard Ltd

May 22, 2019

• € 21.25 - WestRock Company

Dividend income is reported after the deduction of taxes. Check more at my Monthly Dividend sheet.

My Portfolio's Transactions:

• On Wednesday, May 22, I closed my position of Oriflame Holding AG (ORI.ST) and sold all my 300 shares at SEK 221.12 per share plus commission.

My reason for selling my ownership was this: Oriflame gets $1.3 billion offer from the Jochnick Family that founded it back in the 1960s. The family is hoping to build on the roughly 30% stake it already has in Oriflame and take the company private. The goal is to push through a “re-positioning” that the Jochnicks argue is better done away from the glare of the stock market. (Cash offer for Oriflame from the af Jochnick family)
