Each subscription, including by a subscriber who participated in an institutional offer, for up to 1,000 euros was fully satisfied and each subscriber was allocated at least 30% of the volume of their subscriptions; 4. The subscription orders from each client and employee were fully satisfied up to 4,000 euros, and 65% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled; 5. The subscription orders from each existing investor of the issuer were fully satisfied up to 3,000 euros, and 50% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled; 6. The subscription orders from subscribers previously known to the issuer who had expressed and registered their investment interest were fully satisfied up to 2,000 euros, and 30% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled; 7. The principles described in points 4-6 were not applied cumulatively; 8. The 33,000 euros worth of bonds that were not allocated under the previous principles were distributed proportionally within the institutional allocation. Andero Laur, Chairman of Liven's Management Board, thanked all investors who participated in the public offering for their confidence in the company's strategy and growth prospects. He also thanked LHV Pank for organising the public offering of green bonds, and the legal advisor, Ellex Raidla law firm.
