We intend to do all we can to achieve our international expansion objectives and show that we're worthy of their trust. Following this capital increase, AudioValley has greater financial resources to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead at this time of global growth in digital audio. Our talented teams and cutting-edge technology are behind the recent commercial successes with major players such as Sonos, Bauer MediaAudio, Radio France and Adobe. We intend to keep up our efforts enthusiastically, with the aim of being a global player in our market."
The transaction will be implemented by AudioValley's Board of Directors, acting in connection with its authorized capital powers, at a price representing a discount of 11.1% compared with the weighted average AudioValley share price for the last three trading sessions preceding the setting of the issue price.
