Spenda raises $1.85 million under institutional entitlement offer
Spenda Limited (ASX:SPX, Spenda or the Company), an innovative software company providing workflow software,
embedded finance and payment solutions across supply chains and trading networks, is pleased to advise it has
successfully completed the institutional component (Institutional Entitlement Offer) of its $8.545 million pro-rata
accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer), announced on Tuesday 9 June 2026.
The Entitlement Offer is for 7 new fully paid ordinary shares in Spenda (Shares) for each Share held at the record date
(Entitlement Shares), with a free attaching option exercisable at $0.006 and expiring 30 June 2031 (Option) for each
new Share issued (Entitlement).
The Entitlement Offer forms part of the Company's turnaround strategy to optimise existing business processes and
to set the base for future organic and acquisitive growth initiatives. In particular, the Entitlement Offer is being
undertaken to recapitalise the Company with funds to meet its working capital requirements, support product
development and delivery; provide flexibility for further operational restructure and cost optimisation initiatives; and
materially reduce the Company's debt position by raising capital to repay finance debt and reduce other operating
liabilities.
Results of Institutional Entitlement Offer
The Institutional Entitlement Offer closed on Tuesday 9 June 2026, and raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.8
million at the Entitlement Offer price of $0.004 per Share (Offer Price).
Spenda eligible institutional shareholders took up 12,500,000 Entitlement Shares ($50,000), and other Spenda eligible
institutional shareholders did not take up 450,000,000 Entitlement Shares ($1.8m). Entitlements available under the
Institutional Entitlement Offer, which were sold in the institutional shortfall bookbuild process (Institutional Shortfall
Bookbuild) led by the Lead Manager, Peak Asset Management Pty Ltd.
The Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild was well supported by new institutional investors and family offices, who
subscribed for 450,000,000 Shares (and the same number of free attaching Options) not taken up by eligible
institutional investors under the bookbuild, raising $1.8 million (before Offer costs) for the Company. The price
achieved under the Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild was the same as the Offer Price under the Entitlement Offer.
