HGL PRO-RATA NON-RENOUNCABLE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Details of the Entitlement Offer
HGL Limited ACN 009 657 961 (ASX: HNG) ( HGL ) today announces that it proposes to raise approximately $3.884 million (before costs) through a 1 for 4 pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement Offer of New Shares at an Offer Price of $0.25 per New Share. The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten.
The Offer Price represents a 26.5% discount to the last trading price of HGL Shares of $0.34 per Share prior to the initial announcement of the proposed Entitlement Offer on 30 January 2020.
The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer, less costs, will be used to repay shareholder loans and also to replenish general working capital, strengthen the balance sheet and provide greater flexibility to invest in strategic growth initiatives.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore entitlements are not tradeable on the ASX or any other exchange, or otherwise transferable. This means that existing shareholders who do not take up their entitlement will not receive any value for their entitlement, and their proportionate interest in HGL will be diluted. Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares ( Additional New Shares ) under the Overallotment Facility.
Each of the two largest substantial shareholder groupings, representing 53% of issued shares, have committed to participate for their pro-rata share of the Entitlement Offer, and all HGL Limited Directors with direct or indirect shareholdings have also confirmed they intend to participate fully in the pro rata Entitlement Offer. The substantial shareholder groups and Directors are unable to participate in the Overallotment Facility.
HGL’s board and management encourage all shareholders to participate in the Entitlement Offer, after considering the contents of the offer booklet.
