购买了10％的股票后，Elliot Advisors将其在SLM解决方案的股份增加到了29.8％。据报道，这些股份中有20％将转移到ENA投资资本。
Regarding this strategy, Hans-Joachim Ihde, Chairman of SLM’s Supervisory Board, had said, “注入额外的资本是对SLM未来前景的强烈信任投票。”

伯格豪森（Bögershausen）得出了这些变化的重述，该报告得出结论：“ 2019年第一季度并未按计划从操作的角度进行。收入为730万欧元，比上一年的水平高出51.0％。不幸的是，我们的订单摄入量也没有增长（前一年的890万欧元相比，350万欧元）。负EBITDA趋势是收入较低的结果。”
