•
FY 10: Strengthening Stomana’s balance sheet to by providing a EUR 25
million long-term loan, comprising a EUR 18.75 million C-loan and a EUR
6.25 million A-loan. This investment helped Stomana to better match the
long-term nature productive assets of the company against longer-term
liabilities, and support additional capital investment in machinery and

•
FY09: Equity investment of EUR 12.6 million and shareholder loan of EUR 16.8 million
