Frankfurt/Main, June 25, 2021

Bankhaus Scheich Wertpapierspezialist AG, Frankfurt am Main, has in close collaboration with Warsaw’s investmentbank IPOPEMA Securities S.A offered shares in Photon Energy N.V. for the first time. The 5,000,000 shares (treasury shares) were placed with German and Eastern European institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding following an international, digital roadshow. This cross-border transaction increases the free float from formerly 14.3% to roughly 23% and results in proceeds of roughly EUR 7.5mln which will be used to finance the further growth of the company. Photon Energy intends to increase its proprietary PV-portfolio from currently 74Mwp to more than 600Mwp by 2024. Moreover, strong impulses are to be expected from the proprietary Photon Water Technology (“PWT”), a separate business line of the company’s global activities, aiming to complement solar energy and help face the world’s growing problem of scarce fresh drinking water.

Shares in Photon Energy are traded in the Regulated Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange as well as the Open Market in Frankfurt and Munich.

Bankhaus Scheich has advised and supported the successful amendments to the terms&conditions of the outstanding Senior unsecured callable fixed rate Notes 2016/2022 (EUR 62,096,000) and 2018/2023 (EUR 75,000,000) of the Finnish Real Estate specialist SRV Group plc, Helsinki. The company proposed to its bondholders – amongst others – the extension of the tenure of the Notes as well as the implementation of an amortization structure. The proposed modifications are part of the company’s in 2020 announced and initiated recovery program and were approved with the support of Bankhaus Scheich by the international investors with a large majority. SRV has thus improved its repayment profile of its debt structure and gained more flexibility for its already rapidly improving operational development.

ETC Group, a leading provider in cryptocurrency-based financial products, has successfully launched and introduced its new ETN to Frankfurt’s Regulated Market. Bankhaus Scheich has acted as applicant for the admission process and will be the specialist on Frankfurt’s Stock Exchange. This new product is fully-backed and fully-fungible with the cryptocurrency LITECOIN, enabling investors to benefit from a centrally cleared (Eurex Clearing), regulated and listed product within a strongly growing segment. The yet another admission not only testifies to the growing investor appetite but to the strategic objective of Deutsche Börse AG to promote the global trend of regulated and listed crypto-assets. Only weeks ago, ETC Group had listed an Ethereum-based product (ZETH-ETN) in Frankfurt’s Regulated Market.

At this year’s Trading Charity on 07 December 2020, a record donation sum was achieved. Together with Deutsche Börse and eight other securities trading banks (“specialists”) that are also active on the Frankfurt trading floor, Bankhaus Scheich donated €166,000 to charitable organizations.

The “Trading Charity – Handeln und Helfen” campaign supported a total of four institutions:

• Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder Frankfurt e.V.
• Verein zur Förderung der Jugendhilfe und Erwachsenenbildung e.V. (Möwe Jonathan)
• Frankfurter Tafel
• Make-A-Wish Deutschland

The donation amount is derived from the transaction and trading fees received by the Frankfurt Stock Exchange trading venue on December 7. Investors trading shares, bonds, funds, ETFs, ETCs or ETNs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on December 7 therefore supported all institutions simultaneously.

We look forward to the next Charity Day in 2021!

Finoa and Bankhaus Scheich enable professional trading of crypto assets

• For the first time, the Frankfurt securities specialist enables professional investors to buy and sell crypto-assets under the brand tradias – trading digital assets.
• In addition to crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin, digital securities will soon be offered as well
• Custody and settlement are carried out with specialised solutions from the Berlin-based FinTech Finoa

Bankhaus Scheich Wertpapierspezialist AG, together with Finoa GmbH, one of Europe’s leading FinTech for digital assets, offers the trading of crypto-assets from secure custody. A certificate-like digital security (ISIN: DE000A276T93) with a share of a DAX30 company as underlying security was issued in a joint project with the tokenisation specialist Cashlink already at the beginning of the year. The jointly developed service is thus unique in the EU and offers institutional investors and companies the opportunity to trade digital assets from a single source and in a secure and regulated environment. The cooperation underlines the common goal of offering institutional investors professional access to the asset class of digital securities and assets in full. As early as 2018, Finoa started to develop the innovative custody solution that will enable institutional and professional investors to safely hold and manage their digital assets without compromising the necessary flexibility and accessibility of the assets. The crypto-asset trading offering brings Finoa and Bankhaus Scheich closer to their goal of providing clients with a trusted “all-in-one” platform for all investor needs related to digital assets. Trading and custody are natural complements: institutional investors want to buy/sell assets directly from safe custody (in-custody trading) without having to expose themselves to multiple transaction and counterparty risks in multiple trading venues. Finoa’s collaboration with Bankhaus Scheich achieves just that. Legally, trading for Finoa clients is set up as a separate OTC offering under the tradias brand with Bankhaus Scheich. In the medium term, trading orders will be integrated into Finoa’s technology in order to enable efficient execution with one counterparty across multiple trading venues at the best price directly from the digital asset depository.

“With Finoa we have an agile and secure crypto custodian (temporary approved on request referring to § 64 Sec. 1 KWG) as our partner. In the area of digital assets custody we perceive Finoa as a technical innovation leader within the EU, especially in the BaFin regulated e nvironment,” emphasizes Boris Ziganke, Member of the Board & COO of Bankhaus Scheich. “The connection and provision of liquidity has always been the logical next step in our vision to provide institutional investors and companies with a custody and asset s ervicing solution. In Bankhaus Scheich, we are proud to have won a partner who has proven its experience and expertise in the trading of financial instruments as one of the leading market makers on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) in its more than 35 – yea r successful corporate history,”
says Finoa co-founder & Managing Director Henrik Gebbing.
