Fundraise plans

Yes
  • The company has applied for in-principle approval from the exchange to raise funds through a new fundraising round.
  • The proposed fundraise aims to support growth opportunities, including capital expenditure and operational funding.
  • This fundraise is distinct from the last rights issue conducted six months ago, which was primarily for additional capacity build-up.
  • The promoter has limited resources, so equity fundraising supplements debt capacity.
  • Debt remains the company's preferred financing option, but access is constrained for SMEs due to collateral and cost challenges.
  • As the company grows, it expects improved access and terms for debt financing.
  • Any future fundraising details will only be finalized after exchange approval and will be communicated through official channels.
