SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF $1.5 MILLION PLACEMENT TO STRATEGIC INVESTORS
Highlights:
-
Binding commitments received for a $1.5 million placement at $0.005 per share, representing a 25% premium to the last traded price of $0.004, indicating strong investor confidence.

Strong backing from ECT’s major shareholder and strategic new investors aligned with ECT's commercialisation strategy.

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX: ECT) (“ECT” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received binding commitments from sophisticated investors for a placement to raise $1.5 million at $0.005 per share (Placement). The capital infusion, achieved through the issue of 300,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares), will primarily support development works at the Bacchus Marsh production facility and facilitate the evaluation of several emerging commercialisation opportunities.
ECT’s Managing Director, Sam Rizzo, said:
“The strong backing from both existing and new shareholders, especially in challenging market conditions, underscores the significant progress made by ECT and the growing investor interest in our net zero and carbon negative process.
“ECT remains focused on executing its ‘race to revenue’ strategy, aiming to establish a revenue stream from the Bacchus Marsh plant. Additionally, this project presents an opportunity for ECT to conduct a Syngas pilot project, validating net zero, carbon-negative energy feedstock. We’re committed to advancing our three pillars: agriculture products, net zero and carbon-negative energy feedstock, and industrial applications.
“With the successful Placement, the Company is well positioned to finalise plans for the Bacchus Marsh production facility, secure supply and offtake agreements and confidently pursue partnership opportunities for our net zero carbon negative technology suite and range of high-value, in-demand products.”
