SKYDIVE THE BEACH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 27 NOVEMBER 2015 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS
Ladies and Gentlemen –
Thank you for attending Skydive’s 2015 Annual General Meeting.
We do appreciate your support.
The Skydive journey this year has been both remarkable and exhilarating:
-
transformation from a private group to a listed company
-
$25m heavily over-subscribed Initial Public Offering in March
-
$11.7m acquisition of Australian Skydive Group giving Skydive 16 drop zones around Australia, primarily at the key East Coast tourist sites
-
near attainment of Skydive’s Prospectus forecasts
-
declaration as promised of Skydive’s maiden dividend of $0.01 per share
-
$15.5m acquisition of NZone Skydive, New Zealand’s foremost tandem skydiving firm based in Queenstown
-
$19.6m rights issue to acquire NZone Skydive and 2 aircraft
-
18 drop zones in Australia and New Zealand
-
continued focus on our operational, acquisition and diversification goals
I have observed Skydive’s Executive Directors closely since January.
They are very impressive operators. They have a special chemistry; they make quick and sensible decisions; and they implement them with resolve and passion.
We have also been fully supported in our journey by very dedicated professionals at RSM, Bird & Bird and Veritas.
Above all, we are most grateful to our shareholders for their strong support.
The foundations are in place for a highly successful FY2016.
