Eurohold extends capital hike share subscription deadline to July 7
Еurohold Bulgaria, the largest Bulgarian public holding and one of the leading independent financial and insurance groups in Southeastern Europe, extends the deadline for subscription and payment of its new share issue from its ongoing capital increase on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) to July 7.
In view of a confirmed participation of global investment funds in the capital increase and a required additional period for transaction processing and settlement, Еurohold’s management board decided to extend the deadline for subscribing for new shares by further 8 working days to July 7 from June 25. The decision is taken in accordance with Art. 89l of the Public Offering of Securities Act (POSA) that allows the company to extend the share subscription period by 60 days. The public offering started on June 9.
Еurohold offered for subscription a little over 79 million new ordinary shares - with a par value of BGN 1 and an issue price of BGN 2.50 each. Еurohold has already placed successfully almost the whole rights issue (over 188 million subscription rights) for its ongoing capital hike within the trading period in these rights (June 9-15) and during the auction (June 21) of the remaining unexercised rights that took place on the BSE. If investors subscribe for the whole share issue Еurohold would raise up to EUR 100 million which will be used to finance the acquisition of CEZ Group’s subsidiaries in Bulgaria and to invest in the development of the group's two main businesses - energy and insurance.
The Bulgarian investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD is the lead manager of the public offering. The holding appointed Renaissance Capital solely in the capacity of a financial adviser with reference to the offering.
