NCC contributes to strengthening of Neptun Maritime
NCC contributes to strengthening of Neptun Maritime Neptun Maritime today announced a comprehensive program for the refinancing of the company, which included a strengthening of its capital by nearly SEK 800 million (FIM 524 million). NCC has decided to participate in the refinancing measure by guaranteeing subscription of a maximum of approximately SEK 225 million (FIM 150 million) of a new share issue. The capital contribution will enable Neptun Maritime to definitively discontinue its loss-making operations in the English Channel and focus on the profitable passenger and ferry activities in the Baltic Sea. "As a result of the restructuring measures, Neptun Maritime will become a profit-generating company with a highly positive cash flow. NCC's core business consists of construction and real estate operations and we should not be viewed as a long-term owner of Neptun Maritime. The potential to attract new external investors will now be improved significantly," says Tommy Nilsson, President of NCC Invest. After the current capital contribution, NCC's total exposure to Neptun Maritime corresponds to approximately SEK 5 per NCC share.
