The chain of medical clinics InMedica has completed the public distribution of bonds – a total of EUR 5 million has been raised, which will be used to finance the acquisition of new clinics.
Bond distribution took place in several stages, organized by AB Šiaulių bankas. During the first stage, which took place in November-December, bonds worth EUR 3 million were distributed. The last stage of distribution took place in June during the quarantine. The turmoil in the financial markets has not prevented the distribution of the entire remaining issue and thus further broadened the circle of investors, which will have a positive impact on bond liquidity in the secondary market.
“This is the first successful public distribution of bonds in Lithuania since the beginning of the quarantine when the entire bond issue is fully distributed. Customers have positively assessed InMedica’s development and future prospects even against the background of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Julius Juodelė, Head of the Financial Markets Division of Šiaulių bankas.
The bonds are included in the alternative securities market First North administered by Nasdaq Vilnius. The certified advisor of the bonds is law firm Sorainen and Partners.
