Audumbla Communication Group to delay flotation
Audumbla Communication Group to delay flotation The Board of Directors of the strategic consultancy company Audumbla Communication Group AB has decided to delay flotation of the company. This decision is attributable to the turbulent conditions of the capital market at present. The aim is to float the company during the first six months of 2001. Audumbla has decided to delay flotation of the company, a move which was originally scheduled for autumn 2000. The reasons behind the decision are the unfavourable conditions of the capital market and widespread uncertainty among investors. Audumbla is a company that is currently enjoying rapid growth combined with high earnings. "We are ready to float the company now, but there is no reason to force the flotation through at the moment, taking into consideration the current climate on the stock exchange," explains Nils Tunebjer, CEO of Audumbla, who adds: "The intention is to float Audumbla as soon as possible during the first six months of 2001 - as long as market conditions are favourable."
