ClearVue secures a five-year $30 million At-Call Funding Facility
HIGHLIGHTS
-
ClearVue enters $30 million ‘At-the-Market’ (ATM) funding facility with Alpha Investment Partners
-
The ATM facility will help support ClearVue’s strong financial position to accelerate development of its globally significant ClearVue[PV] IGU glazing products and integrated ClearVue[PV] Solar Façade solution
-
The facility provides ClearVue with access to cost-effective standby equity capital during its fiveyear term
23 October 2023 : ClearVue Technologies Limited (ASX:CPV) (‘ ClearVue ’ or the ‘ Company ’), an Australian smart building materials company, has secured a $30 million At-the-Market Facility ( ATM ) Agreement with Alpha Investment Partners to support the continued execution of its market entry and expansion plans.
The ATM facility provides ClearVue with up to $30 million of standby equity capital over the next five years, enabling additional flexibility for the Company to conduct capital raising activities over time, closely aligning capital needs with operational activities.
ClearVue retains full control over all major aspects of the placement process, having sole discretion as to whether to use the ATM, the number of issued shares, and the minimum issue price of shares for any placement. The final issue price will be calculated as the greater of a floor price set by ClearVue and a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over a period of ClearVue’s choosing (at the discretion of ClearVue) less a discount of up to a seven percent.
A key advantage of using the ATM Facility is control over the timing of capital issuances with estimated net proceeds received occurring with minimal dilution (there are no additional options, or attaching options or rights, common in traditional placements, and there are none of the other more complex or expensive mechanisms found in some structured financing solutions). Furthermore, there are no restrictions at any time on ClearVue raising capital through other methods.
As collateral for the ATM facility, ClearVue has agreed to place 10 million shares from its LR7.1 capacity, at no consideration to Alpha Investment Partners. ClearVue may, at any time, buy back those shares for no consideration (subject to shareholder approval).
ClearVue may terminate the ATM at any time without incurring termination costs.
Commenting on the ATM, ClearVue’s CEO, Martin Deil, said:
“Over recent months, the commercial potential of our technology has been validated by independent, third-party verification demonstrating the real-world performance benefits of our unique products. Having access to flexible capital is critical to accelerate our growth plans
and progress our pathway to commercialization. Unlike traditional capital raises, an ATM empowers us to raise investment at prevailing market prices.
“While the ATM is a relatively new product in Australia, they have been widely used in the US for many years. The ATM strengthens our ability to navigate market dynamics effectively, providing flexibility to match balance sheet capacity with operational opportunity.
“For ClearVue this means we now can engage with potential strategic or institutional investors on our own timeline, instead of conducting short to medium term capital raising under pressure.
“Our management team reviewed a number of fund-raising options before selecting this ATM. We determined it prudent for ClearVue to have access to such a facility so it may respond efficiently and cost-effectively to emerging and anticipated investor demand as we start to scale our execution in multiple global markets.”
Authorised by the Board of ClearVue Technologies Limited.
