Euroins Gets Cash Infusion From Eurohold Bulgaria Investment

Bulgarian holding firm Eurohold Bulgaria has increased its total investment in Euroins, a local blue-chip insurance firm, adding to a previous investment that was made late last year. Eurohold’s stake in the company is now at 76.5% after the purchase of 1.75 million additional shares. The purchase price was set at BGN 4 per share with BGN 1 par value. The infusion of cash now puts Euroins’ capital near BGN 12 million, helping to offset losses the company suffered in 2008.
