This operation will enable to optimize the capital structure of the Group and to lower the related costs.
Fabrice and Raphaël Walewski, managing partners of Touax Group commented: “The strategic refocusing initiated since 2018 around the long-term rental business of environmentally-friendly transport equipment has allowed a return to growth and profit over the first half of 2020.
The capital increase of Touax Rail for 81.9 million euros achieved at the end of September 2020 significantly strengthened the capital of the Rail division and the group and thus accelerates its development.
Touax Group’s shareholder value creation strategy continues with initiatives to lower the cost of its debt, of which this operation is part.
We would like to thank the investors who have supported us over the past 6 years on this instrument which has enabled them to generate an average annual return of 7.95%.”
