AFT Pharmaceuticals announces successful completion of Placement
AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited (NZX:AFT/ASX:AFP) (AFT) is pleased to announce the
successful completion of its NZ$73.8 million Placement (Placement), comprising a
NZ$10 million primary issuance and a sell down by certain major shareholders of
NZ$63.8 million of existing shares.
Approximately 19.7 million shares were sold to existing shareholders and new
investors across the Placement, including approximately 2.7 million new shares under
the primary issuance, at a price of NZ$3.75 per share. The Placement price
represents a discount of 11.1% to the 30-day VWAP up to 9 June of NZ$4.22 and a
discount of 20.2% to the last close price of NZ$4.70 on 9 June 2020.
AFT Founder and Chief Executive Hartley Atkinson said: “We are pleased with the
response we have had to the Placement and look forward to offering shares to our
existing retail investors with the upcoming Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
“In addition to the strong takeup of the Placement from New Zealand investors, we
are delighted to be welcoming a broad swathe of Australian institutional and retail
investors onto our share register. Through the placement, sell downs and SPP the free
float of the company is expanding from 11% to up to 31% of the shares on issue.
“We are hopeful the addition of these new investors - coupled with our record of
strong growth and consistently delivering on market expectations – will help to build
AFT’s profile and a deeper appreciation for the significant opportunities we enjoy in
Australasia and further afield.”
Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on 15
th
June 2020. The new
shares issued under the Placement are expected to be allotted and commence
trading on the NZX and ASX on 15
