These capital increases strengthen the companies’ equity and therefore reduce their (legally limited) debt ratio. This offers the respective companies the opportunity to carry out additional debt financed transactions in the future in order to further realise their respective growth intentions. Furthermore, these capital increases lead to a retention of funds within the respective companies, which will be used to finance further growth.
The team members involved in this operation are Lars Van Bever, Filip Jenné, Tim Van Moorhem, Anthony Van Besien, Eva Milants and Jozefien Laga.
