On Wednesday evening, Gaussin announced the launch of a €15 million capital increase, a relatively dilutive operation which weighed on the share price this Thursday.

The fund-raising reserved for Tablon, the investment company of the Czech industrial conglomerate CSG Czechoslovak Group, aims to finance the group's working capital, while strengthening its cash position.

As an indication, the stake of a shareholder holding 1% of the capital before the operation will be reduced to less than 0.8% following the issue of the 7,425,742 new shares.

The subscription price of 2.02 euros per new share represents a discount of around 19.50% to the average closing price of the share over the last twenty trading sessions.

At around 12:15 pm, the share price of the manufacturer of autonomous logistics vehicles was down 5.4% in heavy trading.
