The 1.7 million treasury shares (7.1 per cent of Kuehne + Nagel’s share capital) were offered to institutional investors. The offering has been priced at CHF 295,50 per share.

The successful share offering, which generated strong interest from institutional investors, increases the free float of the company from 34 to 41 per cent.
