Gentrack successfully completes Retail Shortfall Bookbuild, concluding
the Offer
Gentrack Group Limited (“Gentrack”) (NZX/ASX: GTK) is pleased to advise that it has
successfully completed the retail shortfall bookbuild component (“Retail Shortfall
Bookbuild”) of its underwritten 1 for 5.77 pro-rata accelerated entitlement offer (“Offer”) of
new fully paid ordinary shares in Gentrack (“New Shares”) announced on Wednesday, 4
July 2018. As a result, it has now successfully completed the Offer, raising approximately
NZ$90 million.
The Retail Shortfall Bookbuild of approximately 2.0 million Entitlements was well supported
by institutional shareholders and broker firm clients, achieving a clearing price of NZ$6.84
per share. The clearing price represents a premium of NZ$0.65 per share (10.5%) over the
Offer Price of NZ$6.19 and a discount of NZ$0.04 per share to the theoretical ex-rights
price of NZ$6.88. Therefore, Eligible Retail Shareholders who elected not to take up their
Entitlements in full and Ineligible Retail Shareholders will receive NZ$0.65 for each
Entitlement not taken up by them (less any applicable taxes).
Amounts paid to Eligible Retail Shareholders who did not take up their Entitlements in full or
Ineligible Retail Shareholders which, in either case, have nominated Australian dollar bank
accounts will be converted from New Zealand dollars by the Registrar at the prevailing
exchange rate for buying Australian dollars using New Zealand dollars at the time of
payment. That exchange rate may be different to the exchange rate used to set the
Australian dollar Offer Price.
The gross proceeds (excluding the premium) raised in the Retail Entitlement Offer and
Retail Shortfall Bookbuild is approximately NZ$37.7 million.
The ASX settlement date for New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer and the
Retail Shortfall Bookbuild is Wednesday, 1 August 2018. The NZX settlement date for New
Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer and Retail Shortfall Bookbuild is Thursday,
2 August 2018. Allotment of New Shares on ASX and NZX is expected to occur on
Thursday, 2 August 2018.
The Retail Premium will be paid to Eligible Retail Shareholders who elected not to take up
their Entitlements in full and Ineligible Retail Shareholders on Thursday, 9 August 2018.
Gentrack Chairman, John Clifford, commented, “It is pleasing to see strong participation
from both our institutional and retail shareholders in the Offer, as well as strong demand in
