  ROCA Industry (BVB:ROC1), a Romanian construction materials holding company listed on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB), benefits as of March 12, from the Issuer Market Maker services provided by BRK Financial Group.

The company closed the first trading day on the Main Market with a market capitalization of RON 216.3 mn.   ‘Just one day after the debut on the Regulated Market of the stock exchange, ROCA Industry announces the signing of a partnership with BRK Financial Group for Issuer Market Maker services, which demonstrates the company's interest in increasing liquidity. We are glad that the ROCA Industry team chose to go in the direction of increasing the performance of their shares on the capital market and the degree of representativeness on the stock exchange. BRK Financial Group is still the most active intermediary on the stock exchange to stimulate liquidity and we thank them for their involvement in promoting this service among issuers’, said Adrian Tanase, CEO Bucharest Stock Exchange.   ‘The partnership with BRK Financial Group is a natural step for a company listed on the BVB’s Regulated Market, through which we intend to provide the tools to improve liquidity and reduce volatility, thus offering our shareholders a more stable environment for trading ROC1 shares. This not only facilitates trading for investors, but also strengthens our position on the capital market’, said Ioan-Adrian Bindea, General Manager ROCA Industry.   The ROC1 share is the 18th share of a BVB listed company for which BRK Financial Group offers Issuer Market Maker services. The total number of financial instruments listed on both BVB’s markets benefiting from the Issuer Market Maker services reaches 26.   ‘We conclude a new partnership within the Issuer Market Maker program with ROCA Industry, a newly promoted issuer on the main segment of the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Good liquidity contributes in the long run to reducing volatility and, implicitly, the associated risk. Our commitment within this partnership consists in listing a minimum volume of 2,800 shares, both buy and sell, at a spread of maximum 4%, and a market presence of at least 90% of the trading sessions’, said Paul Stiopei, Operations Director BRK Financial Group.   The IMM is the participant in BVB’s trading system that has taken on the role of sustaining the liquidity of a financial instrument.   About ROCA Industry ROCA Industry owns, directly and indirectly, a number of 9 significant players in the construction industry: BICO Industries (the first and largest national producer of fiberglass mesh and the only domestic producer of fiberglass reinforcement), EVOLOR (one of the largest players in the paint and varnish production industry), ECO EURO DOORS (the largest Romanian producer of doors for residential construction), WORKSHOP DOORS (the second largest Romanian producer of doors for residential buildings), DIAL (producer of metal wire products), ELECTROPLAST (one of the most important producers of electrical cables), as well as glass fibre producers Terra, Europlas and Iranga, through BICO Industries.
