Carbone Lorraine decided to use the flexibility offered by its PACEO (step-up equity facility) arranged with Société Générale to bolster its capital by drawing on three successive issuances, the last of which was yesterday.

All in all, Carbone Lorraine raised €22.3 million in additional capital through the issuance of 1,200,000 shares, representing 8.4% of its initial capital. These issues were a tremendous success with investors in France and international markets.

This fund-raising exercise has enabled Carbone Lorraine to reinforce its equity in order to pursue its expansion plans in spite of the depressed economic environment.
