Photon Group Limited (ASX Code: PGA) advises that it has successfully closed its underwritten non‐ renounceable rights issue at 5.00pm (AEST) on 14 September 2009, raising a total of $88 million. This follows the completion of a placement on 24 August 2009 which raised $26.6 million. The total proceeds from these equity raisings of $114.6 million, net of fees will be used to retire debt and strengthen the balance sheet.

Photon received acceptances from eligible shareholders for 51,128,612 shares offered under the rights issue (New Shares). Subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the shortfall of 7,511,230 shares will be issued to or as directed by the underwriter, Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited.

It is anticipated that the New Shares will be allotted by Photon on Friday, 18 September 2009 and are expected to commence trading on the ASX on a normal settlement basis on Monday, 21 September 2009. Holding statements will be dispatched to participants around Monday, 21 September 2009.
