Highlights

  • Renounceable rights issue seeking to raise $8.2 million closes oversubscribed.

  • Significant support from shareholders and new institutional and professional investors.

  • Top-up placement of $2.8 million to accommodate some of the substantial excess demand.

  • Elsight now well funded to move forward with its commercial rollout and to satisfy demand for the Halo product.

11[th] December, 2020. Elsight Limited ( ASX: ELS ) ( Elsight or the Company ) is pleased to announce that the renounceable rights issue announced on 16 November 2020 has closed significantly oversubscribed and raised $8,167,245 . To accommodate a portion of the substantial excess demand, the Company has agreed to undertake a placement to raise an additional $2,833,000 on the same terms as the rights issue ( Follow-on Placement ).

Following completion of the Follow-on Placement, the total amount raised will be $11 million, before costs. The Company will issue a total of 24,444,989 new fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) and 12,222,494 new options exercisable at $0.90, with an expiry date of 31 March 2023 ( Options ). The Options will be quoted under the ASX code ELSOA.

Under the terms of the Follow-on Placement, the Company will issue a total of 6,295,556 new Shares and 3,147,778 ELSOA Options. These will be issued using the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, and without shareholder approval.

Mahe Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 634 087 84) acted as Lead Manager and Underwriter to the Rights Issue and advised Elsight on the Rights Issue and the Follow-on Placement.

The proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Follow-on Placement will be used for the following purposes:

  • Take advantage of a range of commercial opportunities that have arisen from the demonstrated functionality of its latest flagship product, continue to fund a substantial increase in new orders, conduct trials with new customers as well as fund anticipated regulatory aviation (FAA) approvals in the USA. Funds will also be used for product working capital and to ramp up production and shorten delivery lead times in anticipation of increased sales. Such measures will enable the fastest fulfilment for existing and new orders;

  • Significantly expand the Company’s sales and marketing activities and manpower, as well as undertake further product enhancement development activities;

  • Contribute towards ongoing general working capital requirements, to support material increase in sales; and

  • Provide additional capital to enable the Company to pursue strategic M&A options, which have the ability to accelerate the aggressive growth which is beyond the planned organic growth.

Additionally, the proceeds will be used for general working capital and to cover all costs associated with the Offers.
