TZ Limited (ASX: TZL) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise approximately $3.45 million via a share placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors at 12.5 cents per Share. Reach Markets was the lead manager of the Offer, which was not underwritten.

3. Supply chain constraints.
In the last week of October, nearly $500,000 in a deposit to a supplier illustrates the constraints on cash flow. The company experiences a gap between TZ having to order from suppliers and clients paying deposits. Global supply chains remain tight, so TZ is ensuring supply by pre-paying for materials.
4. Software development accelerated.
Existing TZ clients have been requesting “additional functionalities” which provided an opportunity going forward for annuity revenue. Management is increasing our software developers to deliver these upgrades that earn additional income.
Balance Sheet restructure has had a positive impact on TZ business
Over the past 9 months, TZ has raised significant capital to remove the company from debt and remove interest costs (circa $1m per annum).
The debt had fallen from near $12m to $2.5m. This latest raise of $3.45m effectively means the company will be debt-free with working capital to fund its organic growth.
The company’s indebtedness was hindering opportunities causing concerns over TZ’s financial viability. This is no longer the case and the business has seen an increase in the overall percentage of contract wins.
Additionally, internally TZ staff are reinvigorated knowing the company is without the financial pressures of previously, and as staff feel more secure in their employment, it has had a very positive impact on productivity.
Thank you to all investors who participated in the placement, and to our existing shareholders for their ongoing support. The Board of TZ looks forward to keeping you updated as we deliver on our growth strategy.
This ASX announcement has been approved by the Board of Directors.
