Issuance of Common Bond Loan
The Athens Stock Exchange welcomed today representatives of the Management team, senior executives, and partners of INTRALOT on the occasion of the commencement of trading of its corporate bond on the Main Market of the Athens Stock Exchange. INTRALOT’s Chairman and CEO, Sokratis Kokkalis, declared the commencement of trading by ringing the traditional bell.
Mr. Yianos Kontopoulos, CEO of the Athens Exchange Group, welcomed INTRALOT’s Management team and highlighted the company’s successful Public Offering, from its entry into the Parallel Market of the Athens Stock Exchange in 1999 to the present day: “INTRALOT’s journey to the Athens Stock Exchange began 25 years ago, in November 1999, when the company was listed on our Parallel Market with a market capitalization of approximately €220 million. Today, with a market capitalization of €720 million, it is one of the companies listed on the Main Market. Since last November, INTRALOT has been included in the composition of the FTSE/Athex Mid Cap Index with the highest participation (12.2%) among the 20 companies in the index. With the successful completion of a €135 million share capital increase in October 2023 and today’s issuance of its €130 million corporate bond, INTRALOT is demonstrating its confidence in the important role the stock market can play as a lever to raise capital for business development.”
The Chairman and CEO of INTRALOT, Mr. Sokratis Kokkalis stated: “INTRALOT is a company that produces technology in Greece and has been operating successfully for many years in a highly competitive global environment, including the US, where we have had a strong presence for twenty years. I would like to thank the Greek investment community that participated in the recent Bond Issue and everyone who contributed to this success. Our company is moving forward, focusing on growth opportunities and strategic partnerships that leverage our extensive experience and proven next-generation technology in a digital world.”
On her part, the Vice-Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Mrs. Natassa Stamou, noted: “During its 25 years on the Athens Stock Exchange, INTRALOT has always confirmed the value of being listed on the stock exchange, using the financial tools available and raising capital through the issuance of shares and bonds for the benefit of investors and the market. INTRALOT’s outward-looking approach and presence in various jurisdictions highlights and promotes the potential of raising capital in Greece. The successful issuance of its bond is further evidence of INTRALOT’s strong confidence in the Greek economy and market.”
