ASX Announcement
10 December 2009
The Manager Company Announcements Office ASX Ltd 4th Floor, 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY, NSW 2000
Dear Sir,
SHARE PLACEMENT COMPLETED
Verus Investments Limited (ASX: VIL) is pleased to announce completion of a private placement, to professional and sophisticated investor clients of Alto Capital, raising approximately $2 million after costs.
Verus has completed the allotment of 81,363,273 million shares at an issue price of 2.6 cents per share. This placement falls within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and as such was not subject to shareholder approval.
The funds raised will be used to finance the development costs associated with the Fausse Point opportunity in Louisiana.
Chairman Andrew McIlwain commented on the capital raising stating “ Whilst conscious of expanding the shareholder base, the Board considered it prudent to raise capital at this time. The Company has sufficient funds available to develop the first Fausse Point well, if successful. In addition, the funds raised provide the Company with the capacity to potentially participate in drilling of additional wells in the highly prospective Fausse Point onshore oil and gas prospect in Louisiana ”.
