Paris – 8 July 2022 – Euronext today congratulates Groupe OKwind, a specialist in the production of renewable energy and self-consumption solutions, on its listing on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker code: ALOKW).
Groupe OKwind, labelled a French Tech 120 company, designs, manufactures and markets smart energy generation and management systems dedicated to self-consumption for professionals and individuals. Groupe OKwind has developed two complementary areas of expertise: the generation of renewable energy through connected, high-performance photovoltaic trackers, and an energy management offer that ensures optimised energy production and consumption. Thanks to its unique technological ecosystem, Groupe OKwind is establishing self-consumption as a new way of producing and using energy. Groupe OKwind will use the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) to finance the company’s organic development through the acceleration of its commercial roll-out, the continuation of its investments in Research and Development, and the expansion of its agrivoltaic solutions and its service offering in France and internationally. The IPO will also enable Groupe OKwind to finance the acquisition of new technological building blocks, thus accelerating its development and the implementation of its strategy.
Groupe OKwind was listed through the admission to trading on 8 July 2022 of the 8,201,616 shares making up its equity, including 1,866,535 new shares issued under a Global Offering[1], after partial exercise of the extension option and before the potential exercise of the over-allotment option.
The admission and issue price of Groupe OKwind shares was set at €10.81 per share. Market capitalisation was €88.7 million on the day of listing. The IPO raised €20.2 million altogether.
Louis Maurice, Founder and CEO of Groupe OKwind, said: “The successful IPO of the OKwind Group is a transformational step in our history. Our competitive and low-carbon offer of self-consumption of renewable energy is the ideal response to the challenges of the energy transition as it is available immediately. With €25.2 million of revenues in 2021, our sales momentum is accelerating with a very strong increase in firm orders as of 30 April 2022 confirming our objectives. The success of this operation enables us to provide an immediate response to the environmental emergency by accelerating our development, particularly through the deployment of our solutions in France and abroad.”
