Following the subscription period opened as from May 29, 2018, the subscriptions related to 5,476,276 shares, meaning that the offering was 1.8 times oversubscribed, in particular thanks to the support of leading European institutional investors.
As part of the offering and after the full exercise of the extension clause, 3,292,275 shares have been offered at an offering price of € 11.75 per share. On this basis, COGELEC has a market capitalization of € 104.6 million.
Alongside this issuance of new shares, SRC, COGELEC’s majority shareholder, sold 1,512,667 existing shares for a total of € 17.8 million (which may be increased up to € 20.9 million in the event of the full exercise of the over-allotment option), bringing COGELEC’s free float to 37% of its share capital.
Settlement-delivery of the shares offered occurred on June 15, 2018. The shares have been admitted for continuous trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris since June 18, 2018 (ISIN FR0013335742 / ticker COGEC).
