CEO Marten Wigstol is satisfied with the result of the rights issue in view of the current economic climate: "The timing has not been the best for this rights issue, but nevertheless it has been a successful capital increase; with Orion Securities as manager. Subscriptions totalled NOK 33.6 million worth of shares, and we regard the high number of investors behind the subscriptions as a positive signal.
The capital injection provides us with sufficient liquidity to continue our international commercialization. Our focus is on continuing the healthy growth trend from Q4-08, and solid results will sooner or later have a positive effect on our share price, which might make it attractive to exercise warrants, hence give us a further effect of this rights issue", he concludes.
