FINAL CHANCE TO INVEST IN ALLIED RIGHTS ISSUE FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL
RURAL LAND COMPANY IPO
• Shareholders are reminded that Allied Farmers’s Rights Offer @ 50cps closes this Friday
18 December 2020.
• The NZ Rural Land Company Limited (NZRLC) IPO has successfully satisfied its minimum
raise condition of $75 million in its Initial Public Offering, meaning that Allied Farmers
will acquire a 50% interest in
NZ Rural Land Management Partnership (the Manager). To
assist in the success of the IPO capital raise, Allied agreed to invest $750,000 in the
NZRLC IPO.
Final Chance to Invest in Allied Farmers’ Rights Issue Capital Raise
Allied Farmers Limited’s (“Allied Farmers”; NZX: ALF) shareholders are reminded that Allied
Farmers’s Rights Offer closes this Friday 18 December 2020. For those shareholders that may
have been waiting to understand the outcome of the acquisition of a 50 percent share in the
Manager, you will see from the update below that you can now do so with confidence that
this will be proceeding.
We encourage shareholders to consider investing, as it provides the opportunity to acquire
shares in Allied Farmers’s for 50 cents per share, (being a discount of 19.4% against the closing
price of 62 cents per share on 15 October 2020, being the date immediately prior to the date
Allied Farmers’s capital raising plan was announced), and goes some way to reducing the
impact of full dilution by those that do chose to participate.
Acquisition of 50% of Management Company
Allied Farmers’s is pleased to confirm that it has been advised by NZ Rural Land Company
Limited (NZRLC) that it has successfully satisfied its minimum raise condition of $75 million in
its Initial Public Offering.
As a result, the previously announced conditional agreement for Allied Farmers to acquire 50
percent ownership in the Manager will be completed in the coming days. The Manager holds
the external management contract to NZRLC.
Allied Farmers’s Chairperson, Richard Perry, said “We are delighted that this significant
milestone has been achieved, and we look forward to NZRLC commencing its farm
acquisitions. We believe this is an excellent outcome for Allied Farmers, as it generates
additional cash return for a modest capital outlay, and enables us to diversify in a manner
consistent with our strategy and values”.
Additional Investment in NZ Rural Land Company Ltd
Allied Farmers has agreed to invest $750,000 in the NZRLC capital raise. The $750,000
investment, made from existing group reserves, is in addition to the $375,000 in costs loans
that convert to shares in NZRLC, taking Allied Farmers’s investment in NZRLC to $1,125,000
(based on a subscription price of $1.25 per share). This ensures that the owners of the
Manager all have a meaningful investment in the entity it will manage (the owners of the
remaining 50% of the Manager have invested a similar amount into NZRLC).
This investment has been made for two equally compelling reasons. First, it has assisted
NZRLC to achieve the $75 million minimum capital raise, and therefore triggers the acquisition
of Allied Farmers’s 50 percent interest in the Manager. Second, Allied Farmers firmly believes
that its investment in NZRLC aligns with its strategy to invest in businesses that complement
our existing core activities and that provide solutions to the issues facing the agricultural
sector
