Capital Increase - Secondary Placing
Various mechanisms enable companies already listed to introduce equity on the capital markets. As a result, management gains significant flexibility on the financing side in its endeavour to fulfil its corporate strategy. Thus, internal or external growth, for example, can be financed or hurdles may be overcome in procuring external capital. On top of this, a stock market listing makes it possible for the shareholders to sell shares without any undue impact on the market via a secondary share placing within the framework of a structured process.
