The capital increase, which is supported by equinet Bank AG, was subscribed in short time. The company is incorporating gross issue proceeds of EUR7,670,000 to be used to finance further growth. "This fast placement demonstrates the confidence of our investors in our business model and our growth strategy", says Dr. Thomas Berger, CEO of KTG Energie AG. "I am delighted that this capital increase has been supported both by investors committed in the long-term as well as by a series of new, international investors. The gross issue proceeds will enable us to utilize acquisition opportunities in the market at short notice and to thus further drive our growth." Growth through further acquisitions With its existing plant portfolio alone, KTG Energie AG will have an already secured, long-term sales base of over EUR90 million and an EBITDA base of over EUR28 million from fiscal year 2015/2016. Under the continued growth strategy, it is planned to increase the sales base to over EUR100 million, and the EBITDA base to over EUR30 million. This will be made possible mainly by favorable acquisitions of biogas plants with legally guaranteed remuneration rights from the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and thus secure revenue up to 2030 and beyond. After the entry of the capital increase in the Commercial Register, the authorized capital will amount to EUR7.174.328, split up into 7,174,328 no-par value shares taking into account the 24,328 new shares from the 2015 stock dividend.
