Cluey Ltd (ASX: CLU) ( Cluey or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has received valid applications from a total of 115 Eligible Shareholders under its previously announced 3 for 4 non-renounceable entitlement offer of new Cluey shares (each, a New Share ) to raise approximately $4.5 million ( Entitlement Offer ).

Together, these 115 Eligible Shareholders applied for a total of 91,606,587 New Shares at the Issue Price of $0.03 per share[1] . The Shortfall (equivalent to 59,603,589 New Shares) has been allocated by the Lead Manager substantially in the manner described in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 of the offer booklet for the Entitlement Offer ( Offer Booklet )[2] .

The New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer, which closed on Wednesday, 14 August 2024 are expected to be issued by the Company on Wednesday, 21 August 2024 with trading on ASX of those New Shares expected to commence from market open on Thursday, 22 August 2024[3] .

The approximately $4.5 million raised under the Entitlement Offer will be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide working capital to support the Company’s profitability and growth initiatives. For further details in relation to the proposed use of funds raised, please see the Company’s investor presentation released on ASX on 24 July 2024.

Cluey Executive Deputy Chairman Mark Rohald said: “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this capital raise. This additional capital will support our strategic initiatives and enable the company to focus on our path to profitability and accelerating growth”.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised words and terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer Booklet.

1 This includes the firm in relief commitments (for a total of 78,048,778 New Shares) provided by Company founders Messrs Gavshon, Rohald and Fordred and by other existing shareholders (including Thorney and Perennial) as disclosed in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 of the Offer Booklet.

2 The shortfall of 59,603,589 (all of which was allocated by the Lead Manager) is the difference between the total number of Entitlements offered under the Entitlement Offer (151,210,176) and the total number of Entitlements that were exercised by Eligible Shareholders (91,606,587).

3 On completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company expects to have a total of 352,823,744 fully paid shares on issue. An Appendix 2A applying for quotation of all New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer will be lodged on ASX on Wednesday, 21 August 2024.

Further information

Based on the final allocation of the Shortfall determined by the Company and the Lead Manager, it is expected that the following Entitlement Offer participants will have the following Relevant Interests (as that term is defined in section 608 of the Corporations Act) in Cluey shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer.

Name of Relevant Interest Relevant Interest New Shares Relevant Interest Relevant Interest
Entitlement Offer **(Pre-**Entitlement (as a%)(Pre- Issuedunder (Post-Entitlement (as a%)(Post-
Participant Offer) Entitlement Offer) Entitlement Offer Offer) Entitlement Offer)
Thorney 32,061,180 15.90% 38,468,286 70,529,466 19.99%
Perennial 30,143,367 14.95% 22,607,525 52,750,892 14.95%

Shareholders
Total 201,613,568 100% 151,210,176 352,823,744 100%

Since the aggregate value of the various commitments entered into prior to the commencement of the Entitlement Offer was in excess of the actual Shortfall, a decision was made to limit Thorney’s allocation of Shortfall shares to the extent necessary to ensure that its post-Entitlement Offer Relevant Interest remained below 20%[4] .

In addition, and further to the detailed disclosures provided in the Offer Booklet (and particularly in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 of the Offer Booklet), the Company confirms that:

  • (firm in relief) the legally enforceable firm in relief commitments provided by Messrs Gavshon, Rohald and Fordred and by other existing shareholders (including Thorney and Perennial) amounted to a total of 78,048,778 New Shares (which is equivalent to their participant’s aggregate pro rata Entitlement for New Shares); and

  • (underwriting) the legally enforceable underwriting commitment provided by the Lead Manager amounted to a total of 75,242,014 New Shares (which is more than needed to cover the difference between the total number of New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer (151,210,176) and the total firm in relief commitments (78,048,778)).

For completeness, the Company notes that the Lead Manager will not be issued with any New Shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer.

4 The Company does not believe that this decision has any implications on the control of the Company or on the outcome of the Entitlement Offer.
