ASX Release: 29 October 2020

HUB24 successfully completes $50m placement

HUB24 (ASX:HUB) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a $50 million fully underwritten placement ( Placement ) of 2.5 million new fully paid ordinary shares in HUB24 ( New Shares ) to institutional and sophisticated investors at a price of $20 per New Share ( Placement Price ).

The Placement attracted strong demand from existing HUB24 securityholders as well as new investors. As a result, 2.5 million New Shares will be issued.

The proceeds from the Placement will be used to partially or fully fund the following:

  • the proposed acquisition of all the shares in Xplore Wealth Limited ( Xplore ) by way of a scheme of arrangement between Xplore and its shareholders

  • the proposed acquisition of the portfolio administration and reporting services ( PARS ) from Ord Minnett Limited by way of an asset sale

  • the proposed investment of a circa 40% interest in Easton Investments Limited ( Easton ).

HUB24 shares will resume normal trading on the ASX from market open today, Thursday, 29 October 2020.

The New Shares will rank equally in all respects with HUB24's existing fully paid ordinary shares including in respect of future dividends. The New Shares are expected to settle on Wednesday, 4 November 2020, and be issued and commence trading on the ASX on a normal settlement basis on Thursday, 5 November 2020.
