The IPO gives us the strength to expand our investment portfolio, thus consolidating a solid basis for a sustainable dividend to our shareholders. We want to thank our new investors for their confidence and thank our existing investors for many years of commitment. This successful project is also the result of a close collaboration with many partners, whom we also like to thank for their support. We look forward to the continuation of this cooperation."
