ASX RELEASE | De.mem Limited (ASX:DEM)
De.mem completes placement with leading institutional investors
Highlights:
-
Received commitments for approximately $2.95m from leading institutional and other investors through a placement of ordinary equity at $0.20 per share, including a cornerstone follow-on investment by Perennial Value Management
-
The additional capital is intended to fund the expansion of the Company’s Build, Own, Operate segment and to pursue other strategic growth initiatives
27 September 2019: Water and wastewater treatment company De.mem (ASX:DEM) (“De.mem” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received commitments for approximately $2.95m of new investment by a group of high-quality institutional and other investors through a placement of ordinary equity in the Company.
The Company advises that it shall issue 14.755m of new DEM shares once the commited capital has all been received, utilising the Company’s existing placement capacity available under the ASX Listing Rules. 2,377,067 new DEM shares are to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 12,377,933 new DEM shares are to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The additional capital has been raised in anticipation of new Build-Own-Operate (“BOO”) contract awards. Growing BOO revenues is an important part of DEM’s growth strategy because this segment will grow the Company’s recurring revenue stream with equipment rentals. Part of the additional capital raised may be used for general working capital and to pursue a number of other strategic growth initiatives.
De.mem CEO Andreas Kroell said: “The investment received from such a high-quality group of investors underlines the attractive investment proposition of De.mem. Each investor is known to be a long-term supporter of high-quality growth businesses.”
“The placement coincides with the rapid expansion and growth of De.mem’s business. We are focusing on growing our recurring revenues, diversifying our revenues across Australia and internationally, selectively advancing our proprietary product range and expanding into high growth customer verticals such as the food and beverage segment. This capital raising assists with advancement of these objectives.”
