Further to the announcement made earlier today (10/06/2020), Portmeirion Group plc is pleased to announce they have received strong demand from new institutional investors and have successfully placed 2,631,578 Placing Shares at an Issue Price of 380 pence per share, raising gross proceeds of £10 million under the Placing, which was significantly oversubscribed.
Placing, Subscription and Open Offer
Taking into account the Placing and the Subscription also announced earlier today to raise £0.66 million through the issue of 172,731 Subscription Shares at the Issue Price, the Company has conditionally raised, in aggregate, approximately £10.66 million (before expenses). The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 1.3% per cent. to the Closing Price on 9 June 2020.
As announced earlier today, the Company is providing Qualifying Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Fundraising at the Issue Price, to raise up to a further £2 million for the Company (the ‘Open Offer’).
The net proceeds of the Placing and the Subscription of approximately £10.1 million, together with the proceeds from the Open Offer, will be used to accelerate the Group’s growth strategy and margin improvement.
Singer Capital Markets is acting as Joint Broker to Portmeirion Group alongside Panmure Gordon.
The fundraising is subject to shareholder approval.
