German term
Margit Hengsberger (X)
Besserungskapital
German to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
The sentence goes: "Weiters sind Erläuterungen zu Garantieerklärungen, Patronatserklärungen, Gewährungen von Besserungskapital oder Ähnlichem zu machen..." and is part of an annual report.
See http://www.denk-ferdin.at/ABCderBetriebsausgaben.htm
for a definition of the German term.
I believe "additional capital", as found when googled, isn't enough to express the term's meaning.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

equity boost
I think this is a term used specifically in Austria. You may consider placing the term in quotation marks, like in the link you found (http://www.bawagpsk.com/__Contentpool/UeberUns/Presse/Presse... )
From what I'm reading, this isn't really a subsidy, nor is it clear whether its' some kind of mezzanine financing. You might just call it an "equity boost".
Example:
Venture capital firms target RemitDATA with $5 million equity boost

Capital appreciation bond
I feel this term concerns "capital appreciation bond". You may find its definition in http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/...
