Details of dividend reinvestment plan in operation

ClearView reinstated the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) for the FY13 Final Dividend. The DRP is a cost-effective way for ClearView shareholders to increase their shareholding through the reinvestment of any cash dividends in ordinary shares. ClearView intends to have the DRP active for future dividend periods until further notice.

Capital Raising

Consistent with the 1H FY14 business update, ClearView today also announced the launch of a fully underwritten equity raising of approximately $45 million to support the growth of the Company with proceeds to be applied as follows:

  • $40 million will be used to fund ClearView’s strong growth in in-force premiums; and

  • $5 million will be used to make a number of potential small investments and other activities to accelerate the growth of the business.

The equity raising will comprise two separate components, in order to give existing ClearView shareholders the opportunity to participate, while broadening ClearView’s share register:

  • An Institutional Placement to raise approximately $20 million (Placement); and

  • A 1 for 12 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $25 million (Entitlement Offer).

Approximately 70.0 million new ClearView shares will be issued under the equity raising, representing approximately 14.9% of total issued capital.
