“The price per share has been stabilized at 13.1161 lei/share. The price per share includes the share nominal value (0.4 RON) and the issue premium (12.7161 lei). The price was calculated using the formula as specified and agreed by shareholders in EGMS Decision no. 2 from 24.11.2020, namely the average trading price calculated for the last 30 days prior to the date of submission of the final form of the Prospectus to the ASF, which took place on 28.01.2021, with a discount of 25%, according to the math formula: Issuance price = average trading price within the last 30 days * 0.75,” the company said in a stock market announcement.
