Purpose(s) for which the Issuer is
issuing the Equity Securities
Proceeds will be applied towards:
• Funding the vehicle and infrastructure required to
support the new nine year, $40 million life time value
kerbside collection contract with Ashburton District
Council which commences in September 2026.
• Part funding the implementation costs associated with
the Turnaround Plan referenced in the Fact Sheet
provided to the market on Wednesday, 02/09/2026.
• Growth capital for WCO’s existing business operations.
• General working capital needs of the group.
Reason for placement rather than a
pro-rata rights issue or an offer under
a Share Purchase Plan in which the
Issuer’s existing Equity Security
holders would have been eligible to
participate
WCO has chosen to undertake a Placement in conjunction
with a Share Purchase Plan to raise capital.
The board of directors of WCO have determined that this
capital raising structure is in the best interests of WCO
having regard to flexibility, the selected nature of the
Placement, and lower cost of a targeted Placement and
Share Purchase Plan in respect of existing holders.
