The new registered shares will be fully entitled to voting rights and dividends as of the 2022 fiscal year and will be equal in all respects to the existing registered shares.
With the completion of the capital increase, Feintool will receive gross proceeds of approximately CHF 202 million, which will be used, after deduction of transaction costs, for the repayment of bridge financing for the acquisition of Kienle + Spiess, financing of growth investments, and general corporate purposes.
