Sophisticated investors oversubscribe to Uscom placement
Wednesday 5th of September 2012: Uscom (ASX code: UCM).
Uscom Ltd today announced the issue of 5.8 million shares at $0.12 in a private placement to sophisticated investors raising $0.696 million. An additional 2,134,997 shares were also subscribed at $0.12 conditional on shareholder approval, raising an additional $256,200.
There are currently 59,924,488 fully paid ordinary shares on issue, including the 5.8 million issued in this placement. This will rise to 62,059,485 shares once approval is given by shareholders to issue the additional shares. The approval is planned to be sought at the Uscom AGM on the 6[th] of November. The current share price is $0.17 making the capitalized value of the company approximately $10.5 million. The placement was supported by a mix of current shareholders and new investors and the $0.12 subscription price was a 30% discount to the current market price.
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Rob Phillips said, “Capital is always incredibly important, and I am grateful for the on going support of investors and the confidence shown in our new commercial strategy. Our platform technology is an important medical development and has unequalled, world leading, scientific support, and these funds will be used to develop the multi-sector partnerships to deliver the USCOM technology to multiple markets. I believe the company remains significantly undervalued, and this strategy is planned to realise value for shareholders as our market valuation is restored to more reasonable levels.”
