FIRST TRANCHE OF $10 MILLION PLACEMENT COMPLETED

OTOC ( ASX:OTC ) (“OTOC” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise it has received $8 million in funds and issued 40,000,000 in new shares at 20 cents per ordinary share as the first tranche (“Tranche 1 Placement”) of a $10 million placement to professional and sophisticated investors, as announced to the ASX on 11 September 2014.

The Tranche 1 Placement includes the issue of 23,959,376 new shares pursuant to the Company’s 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and 16,040,624 new shares pursuant to the Company’s 10% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. An Appendix 3B is appended to this announcement.

Net proceeds from the Placement will be used to fund future acquisitions in-line with OTOC’s national surveying strategy and for general corporate purposes.

In relation to the 16,040,624 new shares issued under the Company’s 10% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company provides the following information required under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A:

  • a) The dilutive effect of the issue of the 16,040,624 Shares is 8%.

  • b) The Company issued the 16,040,624 Shares as a placement under Listing Rule 7.1A, as OTOC believed this was the most efficient mechanism for raising funds to meet its stated objectives and the offer was considered the most appropriate of the opportunities that were considered by the Board.

  • c) The 16,040,624 Shares were issued to a range of professional and sophisticated investors and, accordingly, there was no need for an underwriter.

  • d) Fees incurred in connection with the issue of the 16,040,624 shares of $192,487 are payable to the Joint Lead Managers. There were no other costs associated with the issue of the 16,040,624 shares other than legal costs and regulatory compliance costs.

The second tranche of the Placement ($2 million) is expected to be completed in late October, subject to Shareholder approval at the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting.
