Kevin Kviblad, CEO of the Company, comments:
“Urb-it operates a business that benefits from several trends in the climate segment, and we note increasing volumes and improved margins. In today’s stock market climate, it is not entirely easy to finance businesses that do not yet show profit. For this reason, it is gratifying that we have been able to carry out a directed share issue, in which six of the current shareholders participate, something that we have considered to be the most cost-effective way to solve the financing.”
