PRIMARY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Primary Health Care (ASX: PRY) ("Primary") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the institutional component of its 1 for 5.21 accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer (“Institutional Entitlement Offer”) announced on 20 August 2018.
The Institutional Entitlement Offer raised approximately $157 million at $2.50 per share (“Offer Price”), and was strongly supported by eligible institutional shareholders, who took up approximately 99% of their entitlements. The institutional shortfall bookbuild for renounced entitlements and entitlements attributable to ineligible institutional shareholders attracted strong demand from both existing Primary shareholders and other institutional investors.
Primary Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Malcolm Parmenter said: “We are pleased by the strong support shown by shareholders for the offer and for our strategic growth initiatives. Management is committed to deploying this capital efficiently and effectively and to delivering returns for our shareholders.”
New shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing shares but will not qualify for the financial year 2018 final dividend. The new shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer are expected to be allotted on Wednesday, 29 August 2018. Trading will commence on a normal settlement basis on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on the same day.
Commencement of the Retail Entitlement Offer
The retail component of the Entitlement Offer, which has been fully underwritten, is expected to raise a further $93 million (“Retail Entitlement Offer”).[1]
The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on Monday, 27 August 2018 and close at 5.00pm (Sydney) on Friday, 7 September 2018.
Eligible retail shareholders on the Record Date of 7.00pm (Sydney) on Wednesday, 22 August 2018 have the opportunity to invest in shares at the Offer Price. The terms and conditions under which eligible retail shareholders may apply are outlined in the Retail Information Booklet which will be despatched to eligible retail shareholders on Monday, 27 August 2018.
