Successful retail entitlement offer
Back on 8 June, Superloop announced its intention to complete a fully underwritten $100 million equity capital raise.
The raise was to be completed via an entitlement offer of new Superloop shares totalling $51 million, plus an institutional placement to institutional investors, to raise $49 million.
The entitlement offer is comprised of an institutional component and a retail component, known as the 'retail entitlement offer'.
Both the institutional placement and institutional component of the entitlement offer settled successfully on 17 June 2021, with a total of $78.8 million raised, according to the company.
Today's announcement outlines that the retail entitlement offer settled on 29 June, raising $21.2 million. Approximately 22.8 million new Superloop shares will be issued under this offer on 6 July, the company stated.
The new shares issued under the offer are expected to commence trading on the ASX from 7 July.
