The issue of shares was performed in a form of non-public offering to a limited group of participants. The overall paid amount of applications equalled EUR 34.6 million, exceeding the offer amount by EUR 7.6 million, and therefore some of the applications have been fulfilled partly.

The subscription results once again evidenced that we have many loyal shareholders willing to personally participate in the bank’s development.
