BlackWall Limited (ASX: BWF) (“BlackWall”) is pleased to update shareholders on the proposed demerger of its WOTSO coworking business, as first announced to ASX on 2 August 2019 (“Demerger”).
The Demerger involves a capital reduction which will be satisfied by an in-specie distribution of 86% of the shares in WOTSO Limited (“WOTSO”). As set out in the Notice of Meeting, in conjunction with the Demerger, WOTSO intends to raise capital by the following means:
- a strategic placement to raise up to $30 million; and 2. an entitlement offer to raise up to $10 million.
WOTSO advises that the company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a significant ASX listed diversified property group regarding an investment of up to $20 million under the strategic placement referred to above. The placement is subject to confidentiality while the relevant party completes due diligence enquiries, the negotiation of a subscription agreement, and approval of the Demerger at the BWF EGM to be held on the 20 December 2019. Under the arrangement if the investment is made the investing party will be entitled to appoint a nominee director to the WOTSO board.
It is expected that if due diligence enquiries are satisfactory to the investing party the subscription agreement will be executed by both parties prior to the BWF EGM.
The key dates for the Demerger were set out in the prospectus accompanying the Notice of Meeting and are repeated on the following page.
In addition, it is anticipated the documentation for the entitlement offer will be dispatched on or about the date of the BWF EGM.
