Ina Invest Holding starts trading on SIX Swiss Exchange: the advisors

At Implenia’s annual general meeting in March 2020, Implenia’s shareholders resolved to spin-off a part of Implenia’s development portfolio to create Ina Invest and subsequently distribute as a dividend in kind the shares of Ina Invest to Implenia shareholders. In parallel, Ina Invest has completed a rights offering, where Implenia shareholders were allocated subscription rights in proportion to their shareholdings in Implenia. Shares not taken up by Implenia shareholders were then subsequently sold to investors in a share placement.

Ina Invest launches its operations as a standalone company with a strong development pipeline of real estate properties in Switzerland. Following the capital increase in connection with the rights offering resulting in gross proceeds of approximately CHF 116 million, Ina Invest has the financial means to fund part of the development of its initial portfolio and to continue to seize growth opportunities in the Swiss real estate market. All 8,866,560 issued registered shares of Ina Invest with a par value of CHF 0.03 each are now listed and traded on SIX Swiss Exchange.
