Findi Limited (ASX: FND) (Findi or the Company) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors to raise $2.8m in a placement of new ordinary shares, with funds to be used to accelerate the Company’s growth strategy in India.

Significant support for the raise has been received from major shareholders of Findi who have committed $2.25 million; with the Board of Directors committing a further combined $550,000, subject to shareholder approval, as part of the oversubscribed placement.
The new funds will allow Findi to progress its recently outlined strategy (refer ASX announcement + webinar 16 August 2022) to provide tailored, scalable payment solutions in India, including the Company’s white label ATM licence application and rollout.
Findi’s Non-Executive Chairman Nicholas Smedley said: “Since the announcement of our guidance and business update in August, we’ve seen substantial new interest in Findi from a variety of investors. This, in addition to the excellent support from our shareholders, has allowed us to successfully complete this capital raising in an unstable market, putting the Company in an excellent position to execute on our plans in India.”
As reported in the Company’s 16 August 2022 presentation announcement, following the renegotiation of finance arrangements and securing a five-year agreement with the Central Bank of India, Findi provided guidance* of:
-
Revenue of A$47-50m (6%-13% year on year increase)
-
EBITDA of A$13-14m (100%+ year on year increase)
-
EBITDA margin of 25%
The placement is conducted under the placement capacity of the Company in accordance with ASX listing rules 7.1 and 7.1A. New shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares.
