2023 Financial Results
Haute Capital Partners achieved remarkable milestones in 2023, underscoring our strong financial health and strategic growth. Our overall performance exceeded expectations, highlighting our resilience and adaptability. We reported a retained earnings balance of CHF -1'961'725 and an annual result of CHF -1'410'181. However, these were significantly offset by impressive changes in equity reserves due to transactions on shares, amounting to CHF +3'389'361. As a result, our profit for the period, including these changes, was an outstanding CHF +1'979'180. It's important to note that this annual result does not include transactions with Haute Capital Properties SA or variations in share premiums due to transactions in own shares. For more information, please refer to our financial report for the year 2023 on the Haute Capital website (www.haute.capital) in the "Documents" section.
Capital Increase with Subscription Offer to Existing Shareholders
The board of directors proposes an ordinary capital increase with a subscription offer to existing shareholders of the company for a maximum amount of CHF 225'000 by issuing up to 100'000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 2.25 each. The proposed increase will raise the company's share capital from CHF 2'415'168 to a maximum of CHF 2'640'018. Existing shareholders will have the right to acquire one (1) new registered share for every ten (10) existing registered shares at the issue price. The issue price will range between 90% and 95% of the closing price of the shares on the BX Swiss on 18 June 2024, depending on the timing of subscription and payment, with earlier subscriptions benefiting from the lower price. The subscription period will run from 18 June 2024 to 20 September 2024, 12:00 PM CET, or until the subscription of 100'000 registered shares. An attractive scheme will be presented at the AGM with subscription prices and periods. The newly created registered shares are also intended to be listed on the BX Swiss, and the capital increase will take effect after the successful placement of the newly created shares.
