Successful Completion of Institutional Entitlement Offer

  • Fully underwritten institutional and retail components will collectively raise gross proceeds of A$14.4m

  • Institutional component of Entitlement Offer successfully completed raising A$11.2m

  • Fully underwritten retail component of the offer to raise A$3.2m is expected to open on Thursday, 31 May 2018

Frontier Digital Ventures Ltd (ASX: FDV) ("FDV") today announced the successful completion of the institutional component of its underwritten 1 for 10 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ("Entitlement Offer"). Approximately A$11.2m was raised from the offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in FDV ("New Shares") at a price of A$0.65 per New Share ("Offer Price").

The institutional component of the Entitlement Offer ("Institutional Entitlement Offer") received strong support from existing and new institutional shareholders. The entitlement rights of the founders of FDV who did not participate, representing approximately 56.6% of the New Shares available under the Entitlement Offer, were successfully placed with existing and new institutional shareholders through excess demand received in the shortfall bookbuild process.

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited and Morgans Corporate Limited.

FDV’s CEO and Founder, Shaun Di Gregorio said:

“The success of the institutional component of the entitlement offer is a clear vote of confidence in FDV’s team and business model from the institutional and sophisticated investor community.”

“Since IPO, we have established a portfolio of 15 leading online classifieds operating companies and are progressing them towards profitability, with a goal to create and return significant value to our shareholders. We are focused on efficiently deploying the capital raising proceeds towards increasing our ownership in existing tier 1 operating companies and accelerating their development.”

New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will be allotted on Monday, 4 June 2018 and are expected to commence trading on a normal settlement basis on the ASX on the same day. FDV expects its trading halt to be lifted and FDV shares to recommence trading from market open today.
