DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge Limited (Pacific Edge
or the Company) (NZX/ASX: PEB) today announces it has successfully raised NZ$25.4 million
of new equity in a placement of new ordinary shares (Placement), after the Directors resolved
to increase the Placement and accept oversubscriptions following strong investor demand.
The Placement, which was well supported by existing institutional and other investors, was
completed on Tuesday, 12 May 2026. It was priced at NZ$0.17 per share, a 2.3% discount to
the closing share price on 8 May 2026, prior to the announcement of the company’s planned
equity issue.
As previously announced, Pacific Edge intends to conduct a retail offer to eligible existing
shareholders to raise up to NZ$6 million at the same offer price of NZ$0.17 per share (with the
ability to accept oversubscriptions at Pacific Edge’s discretion) (Retail Offer). Full details of
the Retail Offer will be set out in the Retail Offer Document, which will be released to the NZX
and ASX, and sent to eligible shareholders on Thursday, 14 May 2026.
The Placement and Retail Offer are aimed at ensuring Pacific Edge has additional resources
and capacity to support ongoing operations and growth, support the company to achieve
Medicare re-coverage, and continue evidence generation, product development and
innovation.
Chairman, Simon Flood said: “We are delighted with the investor support we have received.
The new capital will allow us to consolidate our market position in bladder cancer diagnostics.
It will support the Company and its operations to regain Medicare coverage and assist our
move towards the broader adoption of our tests by commercial payers in the US and further
afield. We are determined not to lose that momentum.”
Pacific Edge Chief Executive, Dr Peter Meintjes, said: “The robust evidence emerging from our
clinical evidence program is shifting clinical sentiment towards the broader adoption of our tests
with opportunities in the US and in the Asia Pacific Region. We are delighted with the strong
support we have received from investors in the Placement to continue to pursue our plans, and
we are looking forward to making the Retail Offer to eligible shareholders at the same offer
price.”
Pacific Edge is advised on the equity raise by Cameron Partners (investment banking
