ASX Announcement Bapcor Limited (ASX: BAP)
24 March 2026
Bapcor Completes Retail Entitlement Offer
Bapcor Limited (" Bapcor " or the " Company ") announces the completion of the retail component (" Retail Entitlement Offer ") of its 1 for 1.36 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (" Entitlement Offer ") of new fully paid ordinary shares in Bapcor (" New Shares ").
The Retail Entitlement Offer closed at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 19 March 2026.
Bapcor received valid applications from eligible retail shareholders under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including under the oversubscription facility) for approximately 34.6 million New Shares, representing a take up of approximately 48% of New Shares available under the Retail Entitlement Offer. Eligible retail shareholders who subscribed for New Shares under the oversubscription facility will receive the full allocation of New Shares for which they applied (up to 35% of their entitlement to New Shares).
Approximately 37.9 million New Shares, representing entitlements that were not taken up by eligible retail shareholders under the Retail Entitlement Offer and entitlements of ineligible foreign retail shareholders, will be allotted to the subunderwriters of the Retail Entitlement Offer.
The Retail Entitlement Offer raised approximately A$43.5 million at a fixed price of A$0.60 per New Share. Together with the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer and the 'Pro Rata' Placement announced on Thursday, 26 February 2026 (" Equity Raising "), Bapcor has raised approximately A$200 million in gross proceeds. The net proceeds (after associated fees) will be used to reduce Bapcor’s debt in order to enhance financial flexibility and provide headroom to focus on 'getting the engine running' and improving financial returns.
Approximately 72.4 million New Shares will be issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer on Thursday, 26 March 2026 and are expected to commence trading on the ASX on Friday, 27 March 2026.
New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing Bapcor shares on issue.
Holding statements for New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be dispatched on Monday, 30 March 2026.
