Calix raises A$21.6m in Share Purchase Plan

Sydney, Australia | 15 November 2022 – Australian environmental technology company, Calix Limited (ASX: CXL) ( Calix or the Company ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ), first announced on 19 October 2022.

Highlights:

  • Calix has successfully closed its SPP, raising a total of A$21.6m at an issue price of A$4.24 per new share.

  • The proceeds from the SPP will accelerate the development of alternative energy options, including electrification and the use of alternative fuels.

  • Calix’s equity raising to accelerate commercialisation of its technology platform for industrial decarbonisation is now complete.

Calix has accepted a total of A$21.6m in subscriptions for its SPP. The SPP aimed to raise A$20.0m. The increased size of the SPP enables all existing shareholders to receive their full allocation under the SPP.

New, fully paid, ordinary shares in Calix offered under the SPP (SPP Shares) will be issued at A$4.24 per SPP Share, which is a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price of ordinary shares in Calix traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) over the five trading days up to, and including, the SPP close at 5.00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 10 November 2022.

The SPP follows a A$60m institutional placement ( Placement ) at an offer price of A$4.55 per new Placement share.

Equity raising for accelerated technology development for industrial decarbonisation

The proceeds from the SPP will be used to broaden the range of alternative fuel options for the Leilac technology and further develop the application of electric calcination into multiple industries.

The proceeds from the Placement will accelerate commercialisation of Leilac’s cement and lime decarbonisation technology; construct a lithium salt demonstration processing plant in a joint venture with Pilbara Minerals (ASX: PLS); and fund a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for a Zero Emissions Steel TechnologY (ZESTY) green iron demonstration plant.

Calix Managing Director and CEO, Phil Hodgson, said:

“Calix is delighted to complete an equity raising to accelerate commercialisation of Calix’s technology for industrial decarbonisation.

“Our strategy of fast-tacking commercialisation through a combination of joint ventures, licensing and spin-out strategies has enabled multiple applications of our core technology to be developed simultaneously, each targeted at a specific and significant market need. The funds raised provide Calix

with the balance sheet strength to accelerate this development and further realise the potential of Calix’s core technology platform.

“We are grateful to our shareholders, old and new, for their support and belief in Calix’s mission.”

Details of the Share Purchase Plan

Calix offered the SPP to existing eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand. Eligible shareholders could each subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of SPP Shares without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. The SPP Shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares from their date of issue.

Calix will issue approximately 5.1m new SPP Shares under the SPP. Allotment of SPP Shares issued under the SPP will occur on Thursday, 17 November, and holding statements in respect of the SPP Shares issued under the SPP will be dispatched on Friday, 18 November.
