Serko Placement Upsized Following Strong Demand
Serko Limited (NZX/ASX:SKO) ("Serko"), a leader in online travel booking and expense management
for the business travel market, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its placement (the
"Placement").
The Placement was oversubscribed at the price determined in the bookbuild of NZ$4.55 per share,
resulting in Serko increasing the total size of the Placement to NZ$47.5 million.
The issue price in the Placement represents a 0.9% premium to the closing price on NZX on 30
September 2020 of NZ$4.51.
The Placement was well supported, attracting bids well in excess of the upsized NZ$47.5 million total
offer amount.
Serko determined the respective allocations of investors by applying the following key objectives and
criteria:
• Serko used best efforts to allocate to existing eligible shareholders, who bid for up to their pro-
rata share in placement shares under the Placement, their full bid.
• For the remaining shares under the Placement, bids from existing shareholders received
preferential treatment, and a limited number of bids were accepted by select new investors
with investment strategies that Serko believes are aligned with its business.
As far as Serko is aware, there were no significant exceptions or deviations from those objectives and
criteria.
Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on 6 October 2020 for the ASX and 7 October 2020
for the NZX, with allotment and commencement of trading on NZX and ASX expected to occur on 7
October 2020. The new shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with Serko's existing
ordinary shares.
As announced on 1 October 2020, Serko is also undertaking an NZ$10 million share purchase plan
("SPP"). The SPP offer booklet, together with an application form, will be sent on 7 October 2020 to
all eligible retail Serko shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand or Australia as at the
record date of 30 September 2020 and will also be made available online at www.serkoshareoffer.com
from 7 October 2020.
Key dates relating to the SPP are set out in the Appendix to this announcement.
Craigs Investment Partners Limited and Ord Minnett Limited acted as Joint Bookrunners and
Underwriters and Craigs Investment Partners Limited and Cameron Partners Limited (New Zealand
global alliance partner of Rothschild & Co.) acted as Joint Arrangers for the Offer. Serko's legal
advisers are Russell McVeagh and Herbert Smith Freehills.
