On July 19, 2018, AUGA group's, AB (the “Company”) Management Board decided to initiate the process of applying for an extension of the public offer period presently in place.

In light of the announcement of the execution of a Framework Agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD”) () coming very shortly prior to the close of the public offer period and coinciding with the height of the summer vacation period, the Company’s management board has decided to apply for an extension of the subscription period so that the investment community has sufficient time to review this latest development.

„We have communicated with many investors throughout Europe and beyond during the pre-marketing and deal roadshow period. It is clear that many in Europe are presently away on vacations and therefore it has not been possible to share this event in a timely manner. In our view the extension is the only reasonable step to take so as to provide all investors an equal chance to digest the announcement“ - states Kęstutis Juščius, Chairman of the Board of the Company.

The request to extend the public offering period has been filed with the regulator (Bank of Lithuania) and further news will be published when available.
