The Retail Entitlement Offer allowed eligible retail shareholders in Emeco the opportunity to acquire 1 New Share for every 2.10 existing Emeco ordinary shares held as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 26 August 2020 at a price of $0.85 per New Share.

The shortfall under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be allocated to sub-underwriters, including to Black Diamond as disclosed in the investor presentation dated Monday, 24 August 2020.
Approximately $38 million raised from the Retail Entitlement Offer combined with approximately $111 million proceeds from the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) (which was successfully completed on 25 August 2020), brings total proceeds from the Entitlement Offer to approximately $149 million.

Emeco’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr Ian Testrow said: “It is pleasing to complete the Entitlement Offer and I thank both our institutional and retail shareholders for their support. The Entitlement Offer, together with the package of other capital structure initiatives announced on 24 August 2020, will provide Emeco with its strongest balance sheet since its initial public offering. This package of initiatives sets us up for great success as we continue our evolution to becoming a leading mining services solutions provider and provides greater capital allocation flexibility moving forward.”
