NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE TO RAISE UP TO $1.02 MILLION

Flexiroam Limited (ASX:FRX) , (“Flexiroam” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a fully underwritten, non-renounceable pro rata rights issue of approximately 101,734,764 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.01 per share to raise approximately $1.02 million before costs ( Rights Offer ). In addition, the Company is offering the shares which comprise the shortfall to the Rights Offer, also at an issue price of $0.01 per share ( Shortfall Offer ).

Under the Rights Offer, shareholders with a registered address in Australia, Malaysia and New Zealand at 5:00 pm (WST) on the Record Date of Monday, 20 July 2020 ( Eligible Shareholders ), can subscribe for one (1) new share for every three (3) existing shares held. Eligible Shareholders can also apply for additional new shares under the Shortfall Offer. The Offers are underwritten by Townshend Capital Pty Ltd.

Non-executive directors, Mr Tat Seng Koh and Mr David Ong have committed to taking up their entitlements in full. In addition, Mr Koh and a professional and sophisticated investor, Mr Kay Yip Ng, have committed to provide up to $1,017,348 of sub-underwriting in aggregate. Mr Ng was a cofounder and director of JobStreet Corporation Berhad ( JobStreet ), one of South East Asia’s largest online recruitment companies. JobStreet was acquired in 2014 by a major ASX-listed recruitment company. He is an entrepreneur presently based in Malaysia with investments in technology, property and construction projects.

Flexiroam’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Jef Ong, said the Board was pleased to have secured full underwriting for the Rights Offer, including sub-underwriting commitments from Mr Koh and Mr Ng.

“This represents a show of support towards our Board, management team and future business strategy, which we believe is likely to encourage other shareholders to take up their entitlements. In particular, it is highly encouraging that an investor of Mr Ng’s calibre supports our ongoing and future business plans,” he said.

“The proceeds of the Offers will provide crucial working capital to allow the Company to continue to invest in its innovative global connectivity platform and product development, as well as augment general working capital requirements. We look forward to updating shareholders of our progress over the coming months.”

The Rights Offer is expected to be open from Thursday, 23 July 2020 and close on Friday, 7 August 2020.

Shareholders as at the record date that have a registered address outside Australia, Malaysia or New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholders ) will not be eligible to participate in the Rights Offer. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1, the Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the offer to Ineligible Shareholders having regard to the number of Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of securities that Ineligible Shareholders would be offered, and the cost of complying with the legal requirements, and requirements of a regulatory authority, in jurisdictions outside of Australia, Malaysia and New Zealand.
