General Capital (GEN:NZ) General Capital Completes Capital Raise
General Capital, the NZX Listed Financial Services company today advised NZX that the
capital raise approved at the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting on 19/1/23 has now been
completed. This placement will increase our Equity by over 50% and hence is material to the
General Capital Group.
The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Rewi Bugo, said “we welcome API No.1 Limited
Partnership as a new shareholder in General Capital. We are sure Megan Glen and Anton
Douglas will make significant contributions as non-executive directors of General Capital
and General Finance respectively.
As a group we have worked hard to build our businesses. This step is another step for us
both in terms of capital but also in terms of people. I am personally very pleased to be able
to invest further funds into General Capital. I am pleased with the progress we have made
and am sure we can grow at an even faster rate with the additional resources we obtained
today. The additional capital and the new Directors will be of significant value to us.” said
Mr. Bugo.
Brent King, the Managing Director, said “This is another significant step for the General
Capital Group. We have had a very positive year and we are seeing strong growth in lending
demand. The additional funds will give us more options and allows us to take advantage of
opportunities as they present themselves. The market is starting to see some pressures
appear and we want to be ready, willing and able to consider whether they are a good fit for
us.
In the meantime, we will continue our strong growth and continue building our business. I
want to thank Michael Johns as the leader of API and Megan and Anton as our new
Directors for the way they have handled the transaction and to say how much I am looking
forward to working with them.”
