Listing on the Athens Exchange is a strategic decision, since by becoming public a company can achieve:

• An alternative way, beyond traditional bank loans, to finance the investment projects of companies providing access to competitive cost capital through the capital markets.  Additionally, listed companies have the advantage of using their shares instead of cash in order to finance their business synergies, mergers and acquisitions.
• Easy access to the secondary market and established communication channels with the local and international investing community.
• Enhancement of the company's reputation which contributes to:
•  Business agreements, synergies and strategic co-operations.
•  Internal organizational discipline
•  Development of good relations with the authorities (Banks, Public Services) as well as the clients,
•  Attraction of highly qualified personnel
• Further improvement and effective management of the corporate culture due to the adoption of contemporary operational mechanisms and principles of transparency.
• Continuous and up to date valuation of the company, through the daily trading of its shares.
