Catena’s CEO Jörgen Eriksson comments on the interim report:

”During the quarter, we issued a directed share issue that raised approximately SEK 2.1 billion. There was considerable interest in sharing our journey of growth, which led to the lowest discount level among new share issues for European real estate companies in the past two years – a confirmation that Catena’s operations and strategy are indeed greatly appreciated.”

”As an employer, growth imposes demands on us and we work hard to ensure that both our new and seasoned colleagues will find that Catena exceeds their expectations. This is an approach that further drives what we are already known for – our willingness to assume responsibility over time and our genuine commitment to what we do.”
