A$1.2m Share Placement to an Institutional Investor
Equity Swap for A$800,000 to enable WhiteHawk to benefit from share price rises during the period of the Equity Swap
Highlights
-
Placement to an Institutional Investor, RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd ("RiverFort") to raise A$1.2m before costs at 6.5c per share being a 2.99% discount to last closing price and representing approximately 18.5m shares.
-
Equity Swap for A$800,000 with RiverFort enabling WhiteHawk to benefit from rises in the share price during the Equity Swap period.
-
WhiteHawk has entered into the Equity Swap in the expectation that rising revenues and potential additional 360 Cyber Risk Review contracts with US Government and US corporations in the insurance, utility, defense and financial sectors will enable a rising share price from which WhiteHawk can benefit under the Equity Swap.
Perth, WA and Alexandria, VA – WhiteHawk Limited (ASX:WHK) (“WhiteHawk or “the Company”), the first global online cyber security exchange enabling small-to-medium businesses to take smart action against cybercrime, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a share placement to an Institutional Investor, RiverFort Global Opportunities PPC Ltd to raise A$1.2m before costs at 6.5c per share being a 2.99% discount to last closing price and representing approximately 18.5m shares.
WhiteHawk has a strong balance sheet with US$1.29m cash held as at December 31, 2018. The A$1.2m placement before costs will be applied as A$400,000 less costs to working capital and A$800,000 to the Equity Swap by way of a net set off.
The Equity Swap is expected to have a term of 12 months but may be extended or settled earlier depending on ASX monthly market trading volumes of WhiteHawk shares.
WhiteHawk will receive 1/12th of the Equity Swap amount of A$800,000 each month plus an amount that represents 50% of the difference between 7.15cents ( the Benchmark Price) and the market price for a month calculated on an aggregate of 10 daily volume weighted average prices in that month (Market Price). Conversely, if the Market Price is below the Benchmark Price in that month, then WhiteHawk would receive that months portion of the Principal Amount less the difference between the Market Price and Benchmark Price.
There are selling restrictions and volume limits on any share sales by RiverFort and RiverFort may vary the timing and amount of any share sales.
