Of this, PLN 125 million was raised through public offerings, with demand for BEST debt securities significantly exceeding the available supply.<br>\u2013 <em>The growing interest in BEST bonds reaffirms our confidence in the company\u2019s development strategy. We remain committed to scaling our business effectively, leveraging, among other things, the support of bond investors<\/em>, says <strong>Marek Kucner<\/strong>, adding that the company plans to launch another bond offering later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013 At the same time, discussions with Kredyt Inkaso are ongoing under the signed agreement regarding a potential merger. We are currently awaiting the decision of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection [UOKiK] on the transaction. This is a pivotal project that both companies are approaching with great diligence. The months ahead will be demanding, but I am confident that the merger will generate significant value for all stakeholders of both entities. I hope we are building a group that will be a key player in the European credit management market<\/em>, adds President <strong>Borusowski<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Information on BEST S.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEST Capital Group is one of the largest debt collection companies in Poland, and it invests actively in portfolios of non-performing debts using investment funds.
