EROAD successfully completes Placement

18 September 2020

Transportation technology business EROAD Limited (NZX/ASX: ERD) today announces it has

successfully raised approximately NZ$42 million through its placement announced on 17 September

2020 at a price of NZ$3.90 per share (AU$3.59 per share), representing a 10.3% discount to the last

close price on the NZX on 14 September 2020 of NZ$4.35; and 9.0% discount to the ten-day volume

weighted average price on the NZX of NZ$4.29.

“EROAD has today completed a placement of NZ$42 million to fund the acceleration of the execution

of its growth strategies. The placement was also successful in broadening EROAD’s shareholder base,

which should in turn improve the stock’s liquidity.” says EROAD Chairman Graham Stuart.

NMC Trustees Limited as trustee of the NMC Investment Trust (“NMC Trustees”), EROAD’s largest

shareholder, sold approximately 1.4 million of its shares (representing up to 10% of NMC Trustees’

shareholding) concurrent with the placement at a price of NZ$3.90 per share. Steven Newman, the

Chief Executive of EROAD, has an indirect interest in the shares held by NMC Trustees. Steven

remains fully committed to EROAD and NMC Trustees remains EROAD’s largest shareholder post

sell-down.


EROAD’s ordinary shares will commence trading on the ASX at 1:00pm NZST (11:00am AEST), and

recommence trading on the NZX upon market open, today. Settlement of the new shares issued

under the placement is expected to occur on 23 September 2020 for the ASX and on 24 September

2020 for NZX, with allotment and commencement of trading of the new shares on NZX and ASX

expected to occur on Thursday 24 September 2020.

As announced yesterday, EROAD intends to make an additional offer of NZ$8 million (EROAD can at

its discretion accept oversubscriptions) through a share purchase plan which opens 23 September

2020 and will be open to shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand or Australia. An SPP

booklet, together with an application form, will be sent to eligible shareholders on 23 September

2020 and will be available on the website established for the SPP

https://www.shareoffer.co.nz/eroad.

Bell Potter Securities Limited and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as joint lead managers

and underwriters to the placement.
