The figures are based on the floatation going out in the middle of the book building range.
The firm plans to invest in organic growth, but also to acquire complementary technologies. The seven year old company's backers include German private bankier, Sal. Oppenheim and the venture firms: Equinet Venture Partners und 3i. About 20 percent of the company is still owned by its founders, according to an earlier report by dowjones.
