Successful Completion of Placement

24 October 2016

Helloworld Limited (ASX: HLO; Helloworld) is pleased to announce it has successfully completed an institutional placement to raise $29.75 million through the issue of 7.0 million new shares, as announced on Friday, 21 October 2016. The placement price of $4.25 per new share, represents a 7.4% discount to the 30-day VWAP of $4.59 as at Thursday, 20 October 2016.

Proceeds from the placement will be used to fund the acquisition of 50% Mobile Travel Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries (MTA), as announced to the market on Friday, 21 October 2016. The acquisition of MTA gives Helloworld a significant footprint into a sector that Helloworld expects to see high growth in the short-medium term.

The placement attracted significant demand from both new and existing domestic and international investors, resulting in the offer being substantially oversubscribed at the offer price.

Helloworld’s CEO, Mr Andrew Burnes said “We are very pleased with the strong level and quality of demand for the placement. This demonstrates support for the acquisition of MTA and the underlying fundamental business.”

Further details of the acquisition and rationale can be found in the investor presentation lodged with the ASX on Friday, 21 October 2016.

The trading halt is expected to be lifted prior to market open today.

Settlement of the placement is expected on Wednesday, 26 October 2016, with allotment and commencement of trading of new shares expected on 27 October 2016.
