Comvita Achieves Minimum Capital Raise Requirement, with Offer to Close at 5pm Today
Comvita Limited (NZX: CVT) is pleased to advise that its pro-rata renounceable Rights Offer
announced on 15 April 2026 has achieved its minimum capital raise threshold (when taking into
account F&N’s Shortfall Commitment) and Comvita expects its refinancing package to become
effective shortly following settlement under the Rights Offer. Eligible Shareholders who wish to
exercise their rights must do so before 5.00pm today (Thursday, 7 May 2026).
Comvita has received sufficient acceptances under its Rights Offer that will allow Comvita to
successfully complete a minimum capital raise of NZ$25 million. Comvita’s refinancing package
is conditional upon a successful capital raise of that amount and the application of the net
proceeds from it to repay existing bank facilities. Accordingly, Comvita expects its refinancing
package will become unconditional shortly following settlement under the Rights Offer.
The minimum threshold to meet the NZ$25 million capital raising requirement is approximately
36% shareholder take-up, in combination with F&N’s 19.99% subscription.
As at end of day 6 May 2026, valid and irrevocable acceptances under the pro-rata
renounceable Rights Offer total approximately NZ$13.2 million or 44% shareholder take-up.
This excludes additional amounts applied for by Eligible Shareholders under the
oversubscription facility.
Information on the Offer, including the Offer Document and Investor Presentation is also
available at www.comvita.rightsoffer.co.nz.
Shareholders are encouraged to read the Offer Document carefully and seek financial,
investment or other professional advice before making any investment decision.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer
Document.
