Key Highlights

  • The Placement was significantly oversubscribed with strong demand from domestic and international institutions, including both existing shareholders and new investors

Completion of $40 million Placement

Temple & Webster Group Ltd ( Temple & Webster or the Company ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its fully underwritten $40 million institutional placement ( Placement ) via the issue of approximately 7.0 million new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $5.70 ( Placement Price ).

The Placement was significantly oversubscribed with strong investor demand from domestic and international institutions, including support from both existing shareholders and new investors. In determining allocations for the Placement, the Company considered a number of factors and focussed (to the extent practicable and appropriate) on providing pro rata participation to existing shareholders.

Stephen Heath, Chair of Temple & Webster said “we would like to thank our existing and new shareholders for supporting this capital raise. With a stronger balance sheet, we are well positioned to take advantage of the structural shift from offline to online for furniture and homewares. In particular, the raise proceeds provide Temple & Webster with the flexibility to make additional investments in its growth strategy, including technology, and the product and service offering.”

The Placement Price represents a 9.7% discount to Temple & Webster’s closing price of $6.31 per share on Tuesday, 30 June 2020, and a 6.4% discount to the five-day volume weighted average price on Tuesday, 30 June 2020 of A$6.09. The Placement was conducted utilising Temple & Webster’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. New Shares issued under the Placement will rank pari passu with existing shares on issue.
