Wellington Drive Technologies, a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and energy efficient

motors to the retail food and beverage industry, is pleased to advise that its pro rata renounceable rights

issue of new ordinary shares, which closed on 16 July 2020, was oversubscribed.


Eligible shareholders were entitled to subscribe for 1 new share for every 3 existing shares held at an issue

price of 5 cents per share, and also to apply for additional shares under a shortfall facility. The result of the

acceptances is summarised as follows.


Acceptances of rights were received for 86.5m shares out of 108m available under the Offer. In addition,

applications for additional shares in excess of rights (under the oversubscription facility) were received for

68.2m shares. As the applications for additional shares exceeded the shortfall by 46.7m shares, there will

be a scaling which will be completed in accordance with the process set out in the Offer Document. The

shares to be issued, including additional shares, are expected to be allotted by 22 July.


John McMahon, Wellington Chairman commented “The Wellington team thanks shareholders for their

strong show of support. The funds raised will assist in effectively managing through the COVID-19

situation and will help ensure the Company comes out of the other side in a strong position. Wellington is

committed to resuming execution of its prior growth plans as conditions progressively normalise for its

customers.”
