Oldfields announces $5.0 million Entitlement Offer to support growth initiatives
Oldfields Holdings Limited (ASX: OLH) announced today a 1 for 2.18 pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“ New Shares ”) at an offer price of $0.065 per new share (“ Offer Price ”) to raise $5.0 million.
It is expected that approximately 76.9 million New Shares will be issued under the entitlement offer. New Shares issued under the entitlement offer will rank equally with existing ordinary shares.
The Board believes that the Company's progress and transformative business plan will generate increased interest from new sophisticated and professional investors and the Board would consider opportunities to place any shortfall with such new investors and to raise additional equity capital under its existing placement capacity.
Proposed use of funds
The capital raised from the entitlement offer will provide Oldfields funding to support growth initiatives and execute strategic goals. The proceeds from the entitlement offer will be used for the following:
-
Business transformation - which may include expansion into new local and international markets; optimise manufacturing capability; digital transformation; and optimal systems and process design and implementation.
-
Increasing scaffolding and paint stock - to meet accelerating demand through new markets and channel entrance
-
Other working capital
Michael Micallef, Group CEO & Managing Director, said, “FY23 will see Oldfields embark on a robust strategic review and business transformation program, that will involve incremental step changes targeted at improving competitiveness, performance and refining our focus on customer experience. This capital raise is required to pave the way for new investment into initiatives that will see the Oldfields’ group harness sustainable and profitable growth, building platform for future investment. “
FY23 Guidance and Outlook
Revenue for Q1 FY23 was $8.92 million and we expect that the revenue performance for the remaining of FY23 will be maintained.
Oldfeilds achieved a positive underlying EBITDA for Q1 FY23 of $0.7 million and we expect that the positive earnings will continue for the remaining of FY23.
