ECO Business-Immobilien AG plans capital increase
Vienna, 31 May 2007. ECO Business-Immobilien AG, which is listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, plans to conduct a capital increase in the first half of 2007. The company will use the resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting on 22 May 2007 for an ordinary capital increase.
ECO Business-Immobilien AG intends to use the proceeds of the capital increase to finance its current acquisition pipeline of approximately EUR 800 million. In particular, over the next 12 to 18 months, the Company plans to make significant investments in the CEE-region, with a focus on the Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria. ECO Business-Immobilien AG thus intends to use approximately half of the proceeds of the capital increase to finance investments in this region.
