Aumake raises $2.22 million to accelerate growth and position the business ahead of the borders reopening
Highlights
-
Oversubscribed $2.22 million Placement to fund acceleration of Aumake’s strategy to increase market share through the implementation of domestic and overseas partnership opportunities.
-
The Placement was strongly supported by new and existing domestic and international institutional investors.
-
Aumake will execute on a post COVID strategy by narrowing the group’s focus on driving growth by targeting and focusing on its most profitable physical stores as well as developing and integrating third-party stores onto its upgraded e commerce platform.
-
Aumake is well positioned to capitalise on the reopening opportunity given it has developed significant synergies internally and the group now has the ability to take advantage of the online ecommerce boom and the reopening tourism influx with its targeted bricks and mortar retail stores.
