This performance was supported by the launch of <strong>new-concept Vision Express stores<\/strong> in Riga\u2019s <strong>Akropole Alfa<\/strong> and <strong>Spice <\/strong>shopping centres, alongside the repositioning of the <strong>VIZIONETTE store in Origo to an OptiO format<\/strong>, with plans to open a brand-new VIZIONETTE store in Spice this August. In addition, the <strong>OptiO store in Justini\u0161ki\u0173 Norfa, Vilnius<\/strong>, was fully upgraded. Currently, the average OC VISION store is 4.8 years old since its last renovation, reflecting the company\u2019s commitment to continuous modernization.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant investments were also directed towards <strong>digital transformation and IT infrastructure<\/strong>.

The bonds, with a <strong>four-year maturity and 6% coupon<\/strong>, were oversubscribed <strong>1.3 times<\/strong> and are now <strong>listed on Nasdaq First North<\/strong>. The program also introduces an <strong>investor loyalty initiative<\/strong>, offering private investors exclusive opportunities to become OC VISION clients in both the eyecare and audio businesses. Proceeds from the bond issue will be used to <strong>refinance the existing ALTUM loan<\/strong> ahead of schedule and to support the company\u2019s <strong>R&amp;D and M&amp;A strategy<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOC VISION\u2019s strong half-year results reflect the strength of our brand portfolio, the success of our retail expansion, and the rapid progress in digital innovation,\u201d said Toms Dzenis, OC VISION Group CEO. \u201cThe oversubscribed bond issue demonstrates market confidence in our growth strategy, while our ongoing investments in technology and customer experience will continue to drive long-term value.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On 25 March 2025, the Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFCA) approved the investment project application No. 1.2.1.3\/1\/25\/A\/001 \u201cAttracting Capital Market Financing for SIA OC VISION to Enhance International Competitiveness and Investment in Development and Innovation.\u201d The project aims to raise financing through the capital market.
