While the offering was planned to continue from June 8 to June 2021, all offered shares were purchased within the first 16 minutes after the start of trading. As demand exceeded significantly the planned minimum lot of 6%, in accordance with the updated procedure for the sale of shares, the selling shareholders offered an additional 1%, which also sold out immediately after the first 6% had been placed.

According to information received from offering manager Elana Trading, more than 250 transactions were made with a broad range of investors, with little over half of the shares going to various local and foreign institutional investors, and the remainder – to the retail market.
