\u201cIn the little more than four years since Sun Finance\u2019s founding, we have seen thrilling growth, shown by a team of now over 1,000 people on three continents and the recent milestone of exceeding 1 billion euros in loans to our customers. We are maintaining our focus and, with the growing need for flexible, accessible and online financing tools globally, we look forward to continuing to grow both horizontally by entering new countries and vertically by developing new products. The inclusion of Sun Finance\u2019s bonds on the Nasdaq Baltic First North market allows a wider range of investors to take part in our success story, which we aim to continue for the long term,\u201d notes Toms Jurjevs, the CEO and founder of Sun Finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that Sun Finance has chosen to list its bonds on the Nasdaq Baltic First North market and welcome the company to the exchange as a new issuer,\u201d said Daiga Auzin\u0327a-Melalksne, the CEO of Nasdaq Riga and Head of the Nasdaq Baltic Market. \u201cIt is particularly pleasing to see a new-generation Latvian company make use of the opportunities First North offers to pursue its business objectives and put the company in the public spotlight. We look forward to supporting them on their growth journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sun Finance has run three bond issues to date, yet for the first time in the company\u2019s history its bonds have been admitted to trading on the alternative market First North. Sun Finance worked together with the Signet Bank\u2019s capital markets team, which provides support to Baltic companies on structuring debt and equity transactions and raising funds in the capital market.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing public not only requires high corporate governance standards but also great ambition. We take pride in the young generation of Latvian entrepreneurs who are willing to join the market to diversify their sources of funding. It is an important milestone for our capital market and will inspire other Baltic companies,\u201d notes Robert Idelson, Chairman of the Board at Signet Bank.<\/p>\n

The value of the loans issued by Sun Finance in the four years since it began activities reached EUR 1 billion in July 2021. The Financial Times has taken note of the company\u2019s success. The UK-based newspaper this year ranked Sun Finance as the second fastest growing company in Europe. It was the first time a company from Latvia made it into even the top 50 on the annual FT list of Europe\u2019s fastest growing companies.<\/p>\n

First North is a multilateral trading facility (MTF) tailored to support growing ambitious companies that want to raise capital and get the visibility and credibility of being a public company.<\/p>\n
