This resulted in an increase of the free float. According to information provided by equinet Bank AG, these shares have been purchased by institutional investors in Germany and other European countries. The Executive Board announced that the off-market placement was conducted in accordance with the corporate strategy, which aims to create a broader base of free floating shares so as to attract additional and larger institutional investors to Viscom and to make the company's shares more attractive to the capital market. 59.6 % of Viscom AG shares are now held directly and indirectly by the company's two founders, meaning that they continue to hold the majority of shares in the company they founded.
