Commenting on the announcement, John Rayment, CEO, Identitii said, “First, I would like to thank all existing shareholders for their continued support, and to welcome all new shareholders to Identitii. We have achieved a number of key milestones this year, received several global industry awards to validate our revised strategy and remain on track to deliver further commercial announcements before year-end. I’m enormously thankful for the strong interest both existing and prospective investors have shown in Identitii and look forward to translating that into real value for our shareholders. This is an incredibly exciting time to be part of the Identitii journey.
“Earlier in the year I reported that 85% of Identitii employees had participated in our previous capital raise, and I am pleased to say that many of our eligible team members intend to participate in the current SPP, including myself. I would like to personally invite all existing shareholders to review the SPP documents and to reach out to me directly with any questions.”
