The Company intends to fulfil its obligations of interest payment through a share issue, the subscription period of which is until 29 September 2023. Currently, approximately two-thirds of the EUR 4.5 million issue has been subscribed. Management looks forward to achieving full subscription by the end of the subscription period.
