Alive Capital, a supplier of electricity and integrated services for companies in the electricity market, announced that it successfully completed a private placement of bonds started last November. The company has raised RON 10 million (EUR 2 mln) from investors.
The bonds, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) under the symbol ALV23, have a maturity of 36 months and offer an annual coupon of 8%. The company will pay interest every six months, Ziarul Financiar reported.
Alive Capital planned the listing of bonds on BVB for the first quarter of 2021.

The company is licensed by the National Energy Regulatory Authority as a supplier of energy and natural gas. It intends to become one of the most important aggregate entities as an electricity producer from renewable sources.
