”The purpose of this rights issue is to strengthen Componenta's financial situation, which in turn will open up the possibility to start negotiations with creditors for paying off in advance the restructuring debt of the parent company. This is clearly a step forward for us, and will give us credibility and support the decision-making of our customers, and will thus have a positive effect on us executing our growth strategy."
