This corresponds to 3.64% of the current share capital. The shares are issued against cash contributions partially utilizing the existing authorized capital and excluding the existing shareholders subscription rights.

The shares are issued at EUR 50 per share; thus the total gross issue proceeds are EUR 21,561,250. All shares will be subscribed by strategic investor Block.One.
