EROAD completes Retail Bookbuild and Equity Raise


EROAD Limited ("EROAD”) advises that it has completed the retail shortfall bookbuild component ("Retail

Bookbuild") of its underwritten 1 for 2.06 accelerated pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer ("Entitlement

Offer”). As a result, EROAD has now successfully completed the equity raising that it announced on Thursday,

7 September 2023 (“Equity Raise”).


Approximately NZ$50 million in gross proceeds was raised via the Equity Raise. The capital raised from the

Equity Raise will strengthen EROAD’s balance sheet, giving it greater flexibility to continue its strategy of

sustainable, profitable growth maximising long term shareholder value. The net proceeds from the Equity

Raise will be used to repay debt, providing funding headroom to allow EROAD to further underpin its growth

strategy, especially in the key North American market.


EROAD Chair, Susan Paterson, said, “It’s pleasing to receive the support of existing shareholders as well as

welcome a number of new shareholders to EROAD, including new institutional investors. This capital raise

improves our capital structure as we continue to add game changing functionality for our customers and

launch our decarbonisation tool.”


1.5 million New Shares were taken up under the Retail Bookbuild by broker firms, including a number of

existing shareholders and new investors. The approximately 20.3 million New Shares not taken up under the

Retail Bookbuild will be distributed to institutional investors who sub-underwrote the Entitlement Offer at the

Issue Price. These institutions include a number of existing shareholders and new investors.


The Clearing Price of the Retail Bookbuild was the same as the Issue Price under the Entitlement Offer.

Eligible Retail Shareholders that did not take up their entitlements in full and Retail Shareholders who were

ineligible to participate in the Retail Offer will not receive any consideration for the entitlements not taken up

by them.


The ASX settlement date for New Shares issued under the Retail Offer and Retail Bookbuild is Friday, 29

September 2023. The NZX settlement date for New Shares issued under the Retail Offer and Retail Bookbuild

is Monday, 2 October 2023. Allotment of New Shares on ASX and NZX will occur on Monday, 2 October 2023.


The New Shares to be issued will rank equally in all respects with EROAD’s existing ordinary shares. Holding

statements for the New Shares issued under the Retail Offer will be dispatched on Tuesday, 3 October 2023.
