Investors’ Meeting with Contakt: A Key Step Toward Stock Exchange Listing

On June 19th, an important meeting took place at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Cluj-Napoca between the investor community and Contakt, the leading company on the Romanian mobile phone accessories market. The event was organized in the context of exploring a potential listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB), projected for the latter part of 2025.

More than 50 investors attended the event, where they were presented with the company’s development plans, investment proposals, and insights into the public’s evaluation of Contakt.

During the Q&A session, the management team addressed key questions on topics such as the sustainability of the business model, international market expansion, internal process digitalization, and potential risks faced by the company.

Representatives from Contakt’s management and Board of Directors provided constructive and transparent answers, sharing information about the company’s successful investments. The leadership also emphasized that physical stores remain the main source of revenue, which is why offline expansion is significant—currently, the company operates 100 times more stores and kiosks than it did at its inception.

The event provided a valuable networking opportunity for both existing investors familiar with the company and newcomers encountering it for the first time. The presentations highlighted both Contakt’s achievements to date and its ambitions for the future, especially in the context of a potential entry into the capital market.

Cabat & Pah Investments and Goldring were present as consultants for the evaluation and listing process, offering strategic expertise for the next steps.

Among the attendees were members of the Carpathia Investing Club, an active investor community based in Cluj-Napoca, further emphasizing the growing interest in high-potential Romanian entrepreneurial companies.

This event was part of a series of preparatory meetings aimed at facilitating the BVB listing process and strengthening relationships with individual investors.
