Forthnet explained that existing shareholders and persons who acquired pre-emption rights took up 97.88% of the shares on offer equivalent to 95,093,730 shares or €28,528,119. Demand was also high at the oversubscription process with shareholders requesting 118,735,714 shares against the remaining 2,050,845 shares on offer.
