Optimus to optimize operations through Ukrainian computer producer purchase
The supervisory board of Optimus has accepted a project of capital investments prepared by the company's management board, while next week a decision is to be made concerning the purchase of a Ukrainian computer producer. Optimus wants to issue a new stake in order to raise the money for the purchase, and during the summer holidays about 2 million of its shares will be released. Although it is unusual for enterprises to organize public offers in July and August, Optimus is eager to conduct the issue as quickly as possible. By producing computers on the other side of this country's eastern border, Optimus believes it will be able to take over a considerable part of the Eastern Europe computer market. In 2001, it provided Ukraine with the equipment worth zł.12 million. (Parkiet, p. 5) A.F.
