Corporate news transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
ItN Nanovation AG, in which Heliad Equity Partners participates with 4.2%
after the capital increase within the scope of the IPOs, has today
successfully gone public in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. The first price was 25,- euros, thus being 25% higher then the
issue price.
During the public offer, a total of 1,380,442 share were placed at a fixed
price of 20,- euros including Greenshoe. Issuing was over-subscribed
several times due to extremely high interest from private investors and
also from German and international institutional investors. The placed
shares correspond to approx. 25% of the capital stock.
The Company therefore has a gross capital inflow of 27.6 million euros. The
proceeds of issuing are intended to strengthen the financial power of the
Company and support further growth. The transaction was accompanied by the
HypoVereinsbank and the Commerzbank as Co-Lead-Managers as well as the biw
bank AG as the selling agent, this bank belonging to the Angermayer, Brumm
& Lange Group of Companies.
Also this week, the Heliad portfolio company Magnat Real Estate
Opportunities was able to celebrate its introduction to the Stock Market.
Despite the difficult market environment this was therefore the most
successful week in Heliad’s history with regard to IPO activities and the
detection of hidden reserves. Altogether, 7 portfolio companies have gone
public in 2006 until now. This means that by the middle of the year the
planned expectations were already clearly exceeded.
Andreas Lange, Managing Director of Heliad, is therefore more than
satisfied with this week and also with this year’s business progress up to
now: “The successful public offer of ItN Nanovation and Magnat, even in
difficult market conditions, confirms our investment strategy of backing
companies that have strong positions in their respective market niche. As a
value-add investor, Heliad, due to its capital market expertise has been
able to substantially contribute to the success of the IPOs for both
companies”
