ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 4 MARCH 2021 DIGITALX RECEIVES COMMITMENTS FOR A$8.8 MILLION CAPITAL RAISING TO ACCELERATE GROWTH

Not for release to US wire service or distribution in the United States

Highlights

  • DigitalX secures commitments for A$8.8 million from new U.S. institutional investors to fund growth initiatives ( Placement ).

  • U.S. Investment Bank, H.C. Wainwright & Co., acted as the exclusive placement agent for the capital raise.

  • DigitalX expects to utilise the net proceeds from the capital raise to accelerate its business plan by growing its funds management division while continuing the development and rollout of its Drawbridge RegTech product.

DigitalX Limited (the Company ), the first ASX-listed Bitcoin-related company, is pleased to announce it has secured commitments for A$8.8 million (before costs). DigitalX is engaged across the financial and regulatory aspects of the digital asset ecosystem through its funds management division together with its newly announced RegTech product, Drawbridge.

The Placement will comprise the issue of 97,963,164 new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at a price of A$0.09 per New Share, representing a 2.0% discount to the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) over the previous 5 trading days on ASX.

The Company will also issue to the investors 48,981,582 warrants ( Warrants ), exercisable at an exercise price of A$0.10 each, representing approximately 111% of the Placement issue price per New Share.

The Company intends to issue the New Shares under its existing placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placement for growth in its business, including the ongoing promotion of its Bitcoin and digital asset investment funds and the rollout of its new RegTech product for publicly traded companies and general working capital purposes.

Leigh Travers, Executive Director of DigitalX commented “With tailwinds in the Bitcoin and digital asset market and the potential growth opportunity for the funds management division, the Company believes it is an appropriate time to raise additional funds to accelerate the business. This growth capital placement was strongly supported by U.S. institutions which is pleasing given the performance of U.S. based equities in the Bitcoin and digital asset sector. We believe that these additional funds will allow us to expedite a number of initiatives identified in our recent strategic review across the digital asset funds management business as well as for our RegTech business led by Drawbridge”.

Placement Details

The New Shares will be issued under the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (36,042,296 New Shares and 55,839,003 warrants) and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (61,920,868 New Shares) and rank pari passu with fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
