Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, CEO of Peach Property Group, comments: “The full placement of our hybrid convertible bond shows that our business model and the chosen form of financing measure touch the nerve of the investors. With this measure together with the Konsortialkredit announced in July, we will receive additional funds of up to approximately CHF 125 million. These proceeds enable us to drive the expansion of the portfolio even more consistently and to respond more quickly to opportunities of the market. We are already known as an extremely reliable partner in transactions and with the additional funds we are building on these basic values in order to expand our portfolio rapidly in line with the corporate strategy.”
