CEO comment
"It is very satisfying to note that InCoax, in the current demanding state of the capital markets, reached a subscription level of 123.4% in the rights issue. This indicates a great interest from new and existing investors in InCoax. I want to thank existing and new shareholders for the great confidence shown to us in this rights issue. InCoax experienced a strong increase in sales in 2023, and I see good opportunities for continued growth in the coming years as e.g., our collaboration with Nokia opens up new and established channels for selling our solution. Combined with a gradually increasing internally generated cash flow, this financing is a crucial component for implementing our ongoing sales expansion. I look forward to an exciting journey for InCoax together with our shareholders," comments Jörgen Ekengren, CEO.
