“I would like to thank all shareholders and investors that participated alongside me in this share capital increase, both the existing shareholders who subscribed in the first phase and the new investors who exhausted the ABB offer in the first hours since it was launched. Even though the process of expansion and growth of TeraPlast Business takes longer than we had hoped and the results are not where we would like them to be, the support of our shareholders will allow TeraPlast Group to continue its development through acquisitions in Romania and abroad. It is a favorable time for acquisitions, and the success of the share capital increase demonstrates that we have investors with a strong long-term vision by our side, who understand that we are well-positioned to fully capitalize on the opportunities in the market.” stated Mr. Dorel Goia, Chairman of the Board of Director of TeraPlast.
