TeraPlast adds Raiffeisen Bank International as its second issuer market maker

TeraPlast announces the signing of an issuer market making agreement with Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI). The services will be active starting 1st of March, 2024, with the main objective of increasing the liquidity of TRP securities, which will also attract enhanced visibility of the company both domestically and internationally.

The collaboration with RBI also includes a coverage component of the issuer (Sponsored Research), thus expanding the sources of information available to investors in the capital market.

“An attractive capital market entails both dynamic, proactive companies with well-established governance and a solid vision oriented towards performance and sustainable development, as well as companies with good liquidity. We adhere to these criteria through the continuous development of TeraPlast Group, as well as through openness, transparent communication, providing investors with essential data for their decisions. Liquidity has allowed us to be included in the FTSE Russell and MSCI indices. Thus, we are on the radar of global investors, which further motivates us to apply the best practices in the interest of shareholders and investors, to meet their expectations. The collaboration with Raiffeisen Bank International contributes to improving liquidity through specific market-making operations and visibility through the coverage that Raiffeisen is going to prepare for the benefit of shareholders and investors.” stated Alexandru Stânean, CEO of TeraPlast.

“We are delighted with the decision of TeraPlast to nominate RBI as Issuer Market Maker, which represents our 10th mandate. We are confident that this cooperation will significantly increase market depth and overall turnover, thus having a positive impact on the share’s liquidity. We greatly appreciate the trust placed in our company and our expertise”, said Guenther Kornfellner, Equities & Derivatives Trader at RBI.

“We are pleased to see that, nearly 5 years after the establishment of the general framework for the Issuer Market Maker program, it has created conditions for improving the liquidity of companies listed on the stock exchange and that an increasing number of issuers are implementing this program. TeraPlast is already accessing the benefits of this program for the second time, and we hope they will achieve their proposed objectives, which will certainly benefit the company’s investors, in particular, and the capital market in general. Congratulations to Raiffeisen Bank International, which is becoming increasingly active in the Issuer Market Maker program.” added Mr. Adrian Tănase, CEO of Bucharest Stock Exchange.

The signed contract is the second of its kind concluded by TeraPlast. Since 2020, the company benefits from issuer market-making services provided by BRK Financial Group.
