EROAD LIMITED SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES EQUITY RAISING
13 December 2017
EROAD Limited (NZX: ERD) (EROAD) is pleased to announce it has successfully raised approximately
NZ$15.5 million through its placement announced on 12 December 2017 at a price of NZ$3.04 per
share, a 4.7% discount to EROAD’s 5 day VWAP. The increase in the size of the placement reflects
the strong support from a number of new and existing investors.
As part of the placement, NMC Trustees Limited as trustee of the NMC Investment Trust (NMC
Trustees), EROAD’s largest shareholder, also successfully offered NZ$5 million of its shares for sale
through the placement.
Steven Newman, the Chief Executive of EROAD, has an indirect interest in the shares held by NMC
Trustees. Steven Newman remains fully committed to EROAD with NMC Trustees retaining an
approximate shareholding of 21.7% after the placement, and prior to the Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
EROAD’s ordinary shares will recommence trading upon market open today. Settlement and
allotment of the new shares is expected to occur on 15 December 2017.
As announced previously, EROAD intends to make an additional offer of at least NZ$4 million
through an SPP. The SPP is expected to give each EROAD shareholder whose address recorded in
EROAD’s share register is in New Zealand an opportunity to subscribe for shares. The final terms of
the SPP are expected to be announced in more detail in early calendar year 2018, but eligible
shareholders will pay the lower of the placement price or a discount to the share price at the time.
