This transaction is exceptional because:
- The issue of MEUR 8 was publicly offered to retail investors in the Lithuanian and Latvian markets (the usual choice is to publicly offer issues of up to MEUR 8 only in one jurisdiction).
- Retail investors were very active in this transaction and were allocated EUR 5.5 million (69%) of the total issue with institutional investors making up the remaining EUR 2.5 million (31%). Most of the retail demand came from Lithuanian and Latvian investors with subscription amounts standing at 54% and 42% of total retail orders respectively.
