No, Secondary Share Sales are not the same as primary equity crowdfunding campaigns. In a Secondary Share Sale, as a Republic Europe investor, you are buying existing shares from existing private shareholders in exchange for cash, which is paid to the seller. The issuing company is not issuing new shares to raise fresh capital.
