listing price €4.10.

"The Entry Standard is the ideal segment for Goldrooster AG because it
is particularly attractive for young and established small-caps and
mid-caps. The shares will be easily, quickly and cost-efficiently
included in trading. The company may also be eligible for promotion to
the EU-regulated market at a later date,” said Alexander Höptner, Head
of Markets Services at Deutsche Börse.
"Goldrooster Group has achieved rapid and significant growth since its
inception. With the IPO of Goldrooster AG, the German holding company of
Goldrooster Group, we want to utilise upcoming growth opportunities more
quickly and push our expansion strategy. We have chosen the stock
exchange in Frankfurt, because it is one of the most important stock
markets in the world and is interesting especially for us as a
medium-sized Chinese company,” said Ashley Soh, CFO and member of the
management board of Goldrooster AG.
Goldrooster runs a sports fashion label in China, specialising in
apparel, footwear and fashion accessories for the Chinese market.
According to its own information, the company targets China’s young and
ambitious middle class ranging in age from 18 to 35.
Due to the protest rally known as "Blockupy Frankfurt” and related
security issues the IPO had to be relocated to Deutsche Börse’s
headquarters in Eschborn.
To date 33 Chinese companies are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange:
Prime Standard 10, General Standard 1, Entry Standard 7, Open Market
(FQB) 15.
