Share Purchase Plan (SPP) Details
Openpay intends to offer a non-underwritten SPP to existing eligible shareholders to raise approximately $2.0 million. The issue of New Shares under the SPP is subject to shareholder approval, proposed to be sought at the EGM in July 2022.
The SPP allows eligible shareholders, being those shareholders that are residents of Australia or New Zealand that held Openpay shares at 7:00pm on Friday, 20 May 2022 (Record Date), to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of New Shares without incurring any brokerage or transaction costs.
New Shares will be offered under the SPP at $0.24 cents per share, being the same issue price as the Placement.
As the SPP is not underwritten, the SPP may raise more or less than this amount.
