The Prague-based company, which manufactures munitions and armoured vehicles, floated 15.2 per cent of its shares in the offering on Friday, in one of Europe’s largest listings in recent years. Artisan Partners, BlackRock and Al-Rayyan Holding — a subsidiary of the Qatar Investment Authority — acted as cornerstone investors, committing a total of €900mn to the initial public offering.
