The net proceeds of the convertible bond will be used for the refinancing of the convertible bond issued in 2015, the financing of possible acquisitions, and for general funding purposes. It will also accelerate the ongoing transformation of the business model. The convertible bond will be issued with advance subscription rights to existing shareholders with a 5-year term and a minimum nominal amount of CHF 20 million with possibility to increase the total amount to CHF 25 million.

The convertible bond increases CREALOGIX's financial and strategic flexibility. With the net proceeds, the digital banking software specialist can further advance its transformation in terms of licensing models, product orientation and market expansion. Thomas Avedik, Chief Executive Officer of CREALOGIX, says:

"With this financing, we can further strengthen the future viability of CREALOGIX in the long term."
