After the transaction is completed, the former Kopex Group will be divided into the machinery, trade and service units. The Kopex machinery unit will be taken over by FAMUR, which will entail the is- sue of new shares in FAMUR S.A. to the minority shareholders of Kopex S.A. in ex- change for the shares corresponding to the machinery unit. As a result, the minority shareholders of Kopex will hold about 3% of the increased share capital of FAMUR S.A. and they will remain the shareholders of the listed company, which will continue to carry out its trade and service activity under its new name. "We [are seeing] clear signs of recov- ery on the market, which should have a positive impact on the scale and value of contracts implemented by the FAMUR Group. Recent contracts and very good fi- nancial results for the first quarter of 2017 confirm the return of favorable business conditions in our industry and allow us to have a much more optimistic outlook on the future," Bendzera said.
