Centrex Limited (ASX:CXM) Launches Entitlement Offer
Entitlement Offer Details
Centrex Limited (ASX:CXM) has launched a pro-rata, non-renounceable entitlement offer aimed at raising approximately A$10.4 million. Eligible Shareholders can subscribe for one new share for each share held at an issue price of A$0.012 per share, including one free attaching option for every two new shares acquired.
The offer comprises three parts: the Priority Offer for existing shareholders, a Shortfall Offer for shares not taken up under the Priority Offer, and a Public Offer that will allow for subscriptions from eligible shareholders and the public, contingent on the minimum subscriptions being met.
Use of Funds and Financial Health
Funds raised from the Offer will primarily support improvements in infrastructure, including a plant upgrade, expansion of tailing facilities and workshops, along with working capital and the expenses of the Offer. Should the minimum subscription of A$9 million not be achieved, the Offers will not proceed, and all received funds will be refunded.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations hinges on securing adequate funding, especially following recent arrangements with its logistics provider and lender, Aurizon and National Australia Bank (NAB). Both entities have agreed to postpone the repayment of certain debts to facilitate this capital raise.
Executive Comments
Chairman Mr Peter Hunt stated, “We have taken significant steps to ensure that Centrex remains on a solid footing as we pursue our growth ambitions. This entitlement offer is an essential part of our strategy to enhance operations and maintain stability in a challenging economic environment.”
The Company urges shareholders and potential investors to carefully review the prospectus and consider the associated risks prior to participating in the Offer.
Forward-Looking Outlook
If the Offer is fully subscribed, the Company anticipates having sufficient working capital to execute its planned projects and meet its operational objectives. Centrex Limited aims to reaffirm its strategic direction whilst navigating financial uncertainties and operational challenges ahead.
