The share issue expands our shareholder base and provides a significant capital injection to accelerate Betolar's internationalisation.” He continued “The oversubscription of the share issue signals the market's strong belief that effective market-based solutions to the climate crisis can be found. We thank all the retail and institutional investors who participated in the share issue for their trust."
