Amper raises capital worth up to €77 million to grow in defense sector

Cuatrecasas has advised Amper—a Spanish business group with a significant presence in the defense, security and communications, and energy and sustainability markets—on a capital increase with a total nominal and premium value of up to €77.16 million to expand its defense sector inorganically.

The public share offering comes at a time of uncertainty and stock market volatility, given the current geopolitical tensions that have fueled a boom in the defense sector. The company expects to issue up to 593,579,295 new ordinary shares, to reach a total of €77.16 million.

The Cuatrecasas advisory team was made up of Roger Freixes, Alejo Ortuño, Claudio Hoyos and Marc Badia, from the Corporate and M&A Practice. “We are very pleased to have once again supported Amper in developing its growth and transformation plan. This public subscription offering is a key element in financing both inorganic growth operations in the defense and security sector and in furthering the optimization of the company's financial structure,” Roger Freixes emphasized regarding the transaction.
