Czech company HARDWARIO, which focuses on the future industry - the Internet of Things (IoT), today published its order book on the START market for an initial public offering (IPO). At the halfway point of the subscription, the company has already sold a total of 1,580,000 offered shares. The company's shares can be purchased in the public offering through members of the stock exchange until 18 October 2022. After that, HARDWARIO's shares will be traded on the START market of the Prague Stock Exchange.
"Since the beginning of the underwriting, we have answered a number of questions, mainly aimed at explaining the reality of our plans and the calculation of the valuation of our company, which is based on these plans. The entire team has tried to present the Industrial Internet of Things as a very dynamic industry in webinars, seminars and face-to-face meetings. We also educated the public about the IoT projects we are currently working on and the trends that will help us realize our plans. I am very pleased that within the first week we were already able to convince a significant number of investors who put their trust in us with their stock order. We will continue to hold webinars this week for those interested, with analysts from LIFTIA and also PATRIA. There will be ample scope to discuss the subscription itself and our company's plans." says Alan Fabik, CEO.
The company offers a total of 2,870,000 shares in the price range of 17 to 25 CZK to investors on the START market. Investors ordered a total of 1,580,000 shares in the first week of the public offering.

Národní rozvojová investiční a.s. is also participating in the subscription and will subscribe for 30% of the shares sold as part of its IPO fund. The total amount to be offered from public funds is directly dependent on the overall interest of private investors, whose orders are continuously matched by NRI.
