Tight-lipped Multico to go after bigger bite of mint?
Parkiet has learnt that the firm has placed an offer for a further 42% of shares with a market value of roughly zł.110 million, and while this information was confirmed by Jakubas, he refused to comment on the details of the planned transaction. However, Magdalena Nienałtowska from the State Treasury press office, stressed, "There is no final decision concerning the future privatization of Mennica." According to current regulations, Multico would not have to make a call for the shares despite crossing the 50% ownership threshold. At present, the mint is preparing to produce euro coins and is also branching into property development activities in addition to other IT-related operations. (Parkiet, p. 1) M.M.
