- In the current period Butn Limited undertook a share split from 12 to 72,383,144 ordinary shares as part of restructuring the issued capital of the company in preparation for the IPO. There was no consideration paid for these new ordinary shares and no change to the total value of the issued capital. The share split has been reflected in the prior period’s NTA per share for comparison purposes.
Entities over which control has been gained during the period
On 9 September 2020, the Group undertook an internal corporate restructure whereby the shareholders in Action Funding Group Pty Ltd exchanged their shares in that company for shares in Butn Limited in a “top hat restructure”. Each shareholder’s proportionate interest in Action Funding Group Pty Ltd was not altered as a result of the restructure. Prior to the restructure, Action Funding Group Pty Ltd was the parent company of the Group, however the effect of the restructure was to interpose Butn Limited as the new legal parent of the Group. While Butn Limited became the legal parent of the Group, this did not result in a business combination for accounting purposes with the restructure accounted for as a capital reorganisation by Butn Limited.
The financial statements of Butn Limited present a continuation of the existing Action Funding Group Pty Ltd. Assets and liabilities are recorded at their existing values in the statement of financial position of Butn Limited. The statement of financial performance is a continuation of the existing statement of financial performance for Action Funding Group Pty Ltd. As Butn Limited was only incorporated in September 2020, there is no historical financial information for Butn Limited. As such, the historical comparative financial information is the consolidated financial information of Action Funding Group Pty Ltd. Interests in subsidiaries are set out in note 34 of the 30 June 2021 financial statements.
Significant other information
On 6 July 2021, the Group listed on the Australian Securities Exchange via an initial public offer (IPO), raising $20.0 million (before costs) via the issue of 40 million fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.50. Details of the IPO are disclosed in note 35 of the 30 June 2021 financial statements.
