€5.45 MILLION RAISED – MARKET CAPITALISATION OF €27 MILLION

Paris – 1 June 2021 – Euronext today congratulates Kumulus Vape, one of France's leading online retailers of electronic cigarettes and related products (equipment, e-liquids and accessories), on its listing on the public compartment of Euronext Growth Paris (ticker code: ALVAP).

Created in 2012, the company has rapidly become one of the leaders in the sector, in a regulated market whose recognition is growing. As a committed player in the vape industry, Kumulus Vape anchors its development at the heart of one mission: to offer, through vape, a safe and effective alternative to smoked tobacco by reducing its health and environmental consequences.

Kumulus Vape was listed through the admission to trading of the 2,842,335 shares making up its equity, of which 573,684 new shares were admitted under a Global Offering[1], after full exercise of the extension option. Listed on Euronext Access in 2019, the company is now entering a new phase of its stock market journey, which allows them to access new individual and institutional shareholders. The admission and issue price of Kumulus Vape shares were set at €9.50 per share. Market capitalisation was €27 million on the day of listing. Kumulus Vape raised EUR 5.45 million² in the offer after the exercise of the extension clause.

The offering was a resounding success with institutional and individual investors with a global demand of €8.89 million, representing a global oversubscription rate of 2.96 times.

Rémi Baert, CEO of Kumulus Vape, said: “I would like to thank all the investors, both individual and institutional, for their trust and their contribution to the great success of the operation. The vape market is enjoying a very good dynamic that is supported by structurally promising trends. Thanks to the funds raised, we will be able to continue our development with increased visibility which, I am certain, will enable us to become one of the major players in the European vape market by 2023.”
