Advanced SolTech Sweden AB (publ) – CEO Frederic Telander in a comment:
– With this issue, we ensure growth in China in the short term, pending the re-opening of traditional institutional financial markets. The uncertainty that exists temporarily in the financial markets means that we issue this bond at 90% of the nominal amount. Demand for our solutions in China remains very high, with a growing order backlog as a result. We regard the future as bright for our efforts in China despite the Corona pandemic. The collaboration with Carnegie Investmentbank and DNB Markets with the aim of listing the Company's shares on First North Growth Market is firm and together with the previously announced plan to issue green covered bonds together with Nordea and DNB Markets we continue the financing plan for the expansion in China.
