7 reasons why it’s worth investing in the UNIPRO SPE01 9.50/22 bond

This article offers you a brief summary of all the advantages for investing into our company’s bond. All the key facts in one place.

1. Interest paid at the rate of 9.5% p.a.

The interest will be paid on a semi-annual basis with the final maturity as of 31.12.2022. The yield is fixed.

2. Suitable protection against inflation

Hiding your savings “under the pillow” is the worst thing to do. Investing into bonds will appreciate your funds and the yield will cover the risk of price increases.

3. Issue with a prospectus approved by the Czech National Bank

The new UNIPRO SPE01 9.50/22 is issued with a prospectus approved by the Czech National Bank under ISIN number: CZ0003522781 from the Central Securities Depository.

4. Investment with a deeper meaning

When developing technology, we place an emphasis on the environment. This will ensure the ecological recovery of waste tyres.

5. Patented technology

Technology developed by experts from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. It is a unique, innovative patented technology.

6. Simple transferability and bond inheritance

The transfer of ownership is extraordinarily simple via endorsement.

7. Beneficial investment taxation – withholding tax

In comparison with other forms of income, this investment comes with a reduced rate while the issuer pays the tax, meaning the investor does not have to submit a tax return.

News that pleases every investor

We would like to thank each of you who decided to invest into the project from the company UNIPRO SPE01 SE. The first issue of UNIPRO 2020 bonds being sold out brought us one step closer to fulfilling our goals.

Currently ongoing sale of issue with a prospectus approved by the Czech National Bank, titled UNIPRO SPE01 9.50 / 22. We launched the sale with a special introductory 3% discount on the issue price. (This means that you will get back 900 CZK from each bond amounting to 30,600 CZK, including the issue price.)

How are we going to use the funds from this issue? The chosen funds will be used for the purchase and implementation of devices for tyre recycling and their further use in the cement factory.

During the era of the mass production of goods, there is an increased requirement for monitoring the whole life cycle of products, from manufacture and use to renewal. The usability and economic efficiency of the product is monitored during each phase of the cycle, as well as its impact on the environment.

Customers require the longest life of the products possible, the lowest energy consumption and instructions how to dispose the products. Legislators worldwide have started to create legislation that makes manufacturers and consumers behave similarly.

The owners of UNIPRO SPE01 SE first caught on to these tendencies 15 years ago and started to think about adapting to this trend. The result was an idea for the material and energy use of plastics with an impact on used tyres and the further use of rubber residues during recycling in machines used to produce cement simply as an additional heat source.

Interviews with two cement factories concluded with positive results. The cement factories are interested in this technology and they would like to substitute their old technologies using coal as the energy source. In case of purchase, their savings would return their investment within 4 or 5 years. The technology will be modified at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava in order to be suitable for use in these cement factories.

We are also working on a new patent, so stay tuned and follow us. We will regularly keep you updated at our blog.

Where do used tyres end up?

A responsible vehicle owner regularly has to solve this problem every few years. Driving with old tyres is very dangerous. This article will answer the question of used tyres.

In Europe, 6.5 – 7 kg tyres are used for passenger cars and 50 – 70 kg tyres are used for trucks. If the tyre gets worn out and further use is not possible, it means that the tyre has become waste. Discarded tyres have a special waste category. At the end of their life, tyres are often stored in large piles or they are just thrown out in nature. Such waste is a new source of material for other processing companies.

In Slovakia, the rate of produced waste from collected used tyres represents 23,000 tonnes annually, and in Czech Republic, according to the data of the Ministry of Environment from 2016, it concerns the production of almost 90,000 tonnes of waste tyres.

The handling of used tyres is a long-term problem in our country. According to the Waste Management Plan of the Slovak Republic for the 2016 – 2020 horizon, Slovakia faces a possible increase in the amount of waste tyres. E.g., according to Slovak statistical data from 2013, the number of such tyres increased by 50% compared to 2011. The overall rate of landfills in Slovakia is almost doubled than in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, a huge amount of such waste ends without use in landfills and only 2-3% of the waste is energetically recovered.

The more than a quarter million tonnes of discarded tyres in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Hungary) represents an attractive business opportunity via the energetic use of tyres through pyrolysis in cement factories, despite the higher initial investment for the necessary technology. Regarding the increasing trend of continuously increasing fleets sizes, our company estimates a slight annual increase of the mentioned amount.

The increased amount of waste tyres does not secure the potential increase of their recovery. In our environment, there still are not enough companies with the necessary innovative technology for processing the given waste with the lowest impact on ecology. The municipalities gathering tyres at collection areas have the biggest problem, which in the worst case means illegal dumping. The situation is caused by the high costs related to the transport and processing of this kind of waste.

In Slovakia, similarly to Czech Republic, there is legislation requiring tyre sellers and tyre repair shops to take back tyres.

The company UNIPRO SPE01 SE decided to use the potential of the tyre. In collaboration with experts from the University of Technology in Bratislava, we prepared a complicated project resulting in complete material recovery through pyrolysis.

Pyrolysis as the first manufacture phase produces three basic outputs from the input. The first basic output is pyrolysis gas representing 10% of the pyrolytic product. The second product is carbon which represents 35-40% of the production. The third product is an oil product which represents 50-55% of the production. The key fact is that the whole process does not represent an environmental burden.

We believe that the ecological recovery of waste is a chance for our future and the future of generations to come.

A bogeyman called inflation

It is not surprising that product prices in the market economy can change any time upwards or downwards. We talk about inflation if the prices of products and services increase. The reason is usually due to an increase in the amount of funds in circulation, which leads to a gradual loss of their value.

 What can the consumer expect in the coming period? In terms of the economy, the year 2019 has been a year of negative news, uncertainty, and negativity. Based on recent data from the Czech National Bank, the prospects for the improvement of the situation are not foreseen. We will experience the most significant price increases in the last 10 years. The inflation level is 2.7%. Consumers will face these price increases in all aspects of = ordinary life. We will need to dig deeper into our pockets when purchasing items for common daily consumption and significant price increases will also be seen when purchasing alcoholic and tobacco products. Moreover, price increases will be reflected in housing and energy costs. It is necessary to put aside approximately 2.8% more for holidays on average compared to the past. The price increases are visible in the sector of catering and accommodation services, culture and education.

What is the best recommendation to get ready for the arrival of a possible crisis? Try to protect your finances against the market’s negative features or to make more profit. Investing in consumer products in this period is meaningless since they have no value. If we assume the economy’s deceleration and a weakening currency, investing funds in bonds seems to be the correct choice.

Regular yields will provide you with coverage for the increased costs caused by inflation.
