To enable all eligible existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Capital Raising on the same terms as the Placement, the Company will launch an entitlement issue on the basis of one (1) new Share for every four (4) Shares held on the record date, at the Issue Price of $0.005 per Share to raise gross proceeds of approximately $1.5m (“ Entitlement Issue” ).

Use of Funds
Funds raised under the Capital Raising will primarily be used to advance revenue generating contracts and product licensing opportunities, as well as fund research and development, marketing, working capital and general corporate expenditure.
Quantify CEO Brett Savill commented:
“The Company has recently entered into an exclusive east coast sales agreement with Harvey Norman Commercial Division (“ HNCD ”) and with the first purchase order currently being manufactured and due for delivery to Australia in September 2019, the Quantify Board are confident in the future of the Company. To demonstrate our commitment, both our Chairman Peter Rossdeutscher and I have invested $100,000 each under the Placement.
“At this important stage with the Company nearing commercialisation, I commend the offer under the Entitlement Issue and encourage eligible shareholders to carefully read the Prospectus to be issued and consider taking up their entitlements. The capital raised will not only be important in further executing our commercialisation and sales strategy, it will also play a critical role in further research and development to ensure that Quantify continues to stay ahead of the market as a leader in home automation.
“Further to this, the Company has recently continued its cost reduction program, lowering its quarterly operating costs by approximately $300,000 per quarter.”
