Warsaw, January 26th 2011, Cyprus based Agroliga Group PLC – holding company of Ukraine based producer of sunflower oil conducting also grain cultivation and cattle-breeding – plans to debut on WSE’s NewConnect market in the first half of February 2011. The Company completed EUR 1 million private placement offering last month. The funds from offering will be utilized on purchase of a new production machinery and modernization of breeding complex. The Issuer’s Authorized Advisor is WDM Autoryzowany Doradca sp. z o.o.

- „We realize our plan connected with debut on NewConnect step by step. The success of private placement wasn’t a great surprise, as the low P/E ratio, interesting business model and well defined investment objectives brought a large number of investors, interested in purchase of Agroliga Group PLC’s shares. The investments that we plan to carry out, are worth above EUR 3,6m, of which EUR 2,6m we will cover from our own funds. If not the NewConnect plans and gathered funding, business development and reorganization of business model could last longer. Nowadays, we’re preparing for debut, that is expected early February this year.” - says Oleksander N. Berdnik, President of the Board of Directors of Agroliga Group PLC.
