$60.1M RIGHTS OFFER CLOSED
New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited (NZX/ASX: NZK) (NZ King Salmon) is pleased to
announce the successful closure of its NZ$60.1m underwritten 2.85 for 1 pro rata rights offer (Rights
Offer). NZ King Salmon received strong shareholder support with applications totalling approximately
NZ$50.3m, representing Eligible Shareholders electing to take up approximately 83.6% of their
entitlements under the Rights Offer. The shares will be issued at a price of NZ$0.15 per share (or
A$0.14 per share).
A total of NZ$60.1m was raised under the Rights Offer as announced on 13 April 2022. The proceeds
of the equity raise will be used to deleverage NZ King Salmon’s balance sheet and provide liquidity and
funding for medium term operating requirements.
Grant Rosewarne, NZ King Salmon Managing Director and CEO, said “NZ King Salmon is delighted
with the level of take-up by its Eligible Shareholders in the Rights Offer.”
Settlement and allotment of new shares taken up under the Rights Offer is expected to occur on 12
May 2022, with ASX shares expected to commence trading on 13 May 2022. The new shares issued
under the Rights Offer will rank equally with NZ King Salmon’s existing shares.
Shortfall
A shortfall of approximately NZ$9.8m worth of shares out of a total Rights Offer size of NZ$60.1m
remains. The shortfall will be allocated in priority to retail shareholders who over-subscribed NZ$3.5m
through the Rights Offer, with the remainder being taken up by the underwriter, Jarden, or its sub-
underwriters.
For further information in respect of the Rights Offer, please refer to the investor presentation released
to the NZX and ASX on 13 April 2022.
