Vulcan completes Retail Shortfall Bookbuild
Vulcan Steel Limited (Vulcan) advises that it has successfully completed the retail shortfall
bookbuild component (Retail Shortfall Bookbuild) of its 1 for 9 fully underwritten pro rata
accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer). Vulcan has now
successfully completed the Entitlement Offer, raising total gross proceeds of approximately
A$87.1 million (approximately NZ$96.6 million) through the issue of 14.6 million new Vulcan
shares (New Shares).
Summary of the Retail Shortfall Bookbuild
Approximately 2.0 million New Shares were sold in the Retail Shortfall Bookbuild,
which was conducted after market close on Tuesday, 16 September 2025.
The Retail Shortfall Bookbuild cleared at a price of A$7.20 per New Share (Retail
Bookbuild Shortfall Price), which represents a premium of A$1.25 above the offer
price of A$5.95 per New Share (Offer Price).
Eligible retail shareholders who elected not to take up their entitlements in full and ineligible
retail shareholders will receive A$1.25 (less any applicable withholding tax) for each New
Share sold in the Retail Shortfall Bookbuild (Retail Premium) for their benefit.
The Retail Premium is expected to be paid to those retail shareholders on or about Monday,
29 September 2025.
Scaling has been applied to institutional and broker bids, and to applications for additional
New Shares received from eligible retail shareholders who took up their entitlements in full
under the retail entitlement offer (Retail Entitlement Offer), in accordance with the
allocation policy set out in the Retail Offer Booklet.
Vulcan’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Rhys Jones, said: “We are extremely
pleased with the significant level of shareholder support received across both the
Institutional Entitlement Offer and Retail Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer was
structured to provide fairness to shareholders, whilst also securing funding for Vulcan’s
acquisition of Roofing Industries Limited. This acquisition accelerates Vulcan’s growth
strategy, opening a new vertical while broadening and enhancing its product offerings.”
Allotment of New Shares
The New Shares to be issued as part of the Retail Entitlement Offer and the Retail Shortfall
Bookbuild will be allotted and commence trading on the ASX and NZX on Monday,
