Work Service S.A. decided to postpone the subscription for shares
Due to the unfavourable situation on capital markets, the Management Board of Work Service S.A. decided to postpone the subscription for shares in relation to the initial public offering for 23-27 February 2012.
“Unstable situation on world stock markets and, in effect, also on the Warsaw Stock Exchange caused the current valuation of shares of Work Service, offered by the market, is below our expectations. However, the good news is that we noticed a great interest of institutional investors in buying our shares,” says Tomasz Hanczarek, President of the Management Board of Work Service S.A. “We still strive at entering the WSE as this is one of the most important elements of our growth strategy. It is also significant to conduct the offering of shares on satisfying terms and conditions which will safeguard maximum benefits for the company and its shareholders,” adds Tomasz Hanczarek, President of the Management Board of Work Service S.A.
“Currently, Work Service is the largest company in Poland operating on the personnel services market whose growth rate amounts to more than 10% annually. I believe that investors will take present circumstances into account and sustain their interest in purchasing the shares of Work Service in February next year,” sums up Dariusz Rochman, Vice-President of the Management Board of Work Service S.A.
