Eco Buildings Group plc
(the "Company" or the "Group")
£450k Raised from New and Existing Shareholders at 10p
Deliveries and First Revenues Expected Imminently
Deliveries from Upgraded Factory to the Group's Two Existing Home Building
Customers Set to Commence
Eco Buildings Group Plc (ECOB), a modular housing company, is pleased to
announce that it has raised £450,000 via a subscription for 4,500,000 new
ordinary shares ("Subscription Shares") by several supportive existing and new
shareholders (the "Fundraise"). The Subscription will be effected at a price
of 10 pence per share (the "Issue Price").
The Fundraise is conditional, inter alia, upon admission of the Subscription
Shares to trading on AIM becoming effective in accordance with the AIM Rules
for Companies ("Admission") and occurring by not later than 8.00 a.m. on 27
August 2024.
Use of Proceeds
The funds raised will be used to complete delivery on the previously announced
25,000 sqm purchase order for wall panels. Following the completion of the
capital raise the Company also expects to sign additional purchase orders of
wall panels that are currently being negotiated.
Whilst later than expected, following the completion of the lengthy process of
equipment and software upgrades to our primary production line in Durres, we
are now in a position to execute on our two long-standing contracts in the
region, that are expected to generate revenues for the Company of over €114m
over the coming 3 years.
Sanjay Bowry, CEO, Eco Buildings said, "The management team at Eco Buildings
is grateful to our shareholders for their patience and support. Today's
capital raise allows us to execute on a short-term purchase order, as well as
likely providing the springboard for further orders under negotiation in the
near term.. While reaching this crucial revenue and cash flow point took
longer than expected, our customers remain eager for our proven, innovative,
low-cost modular solution. This business model, which minimizes delivery risks
by batch producing near the site, keeps us competitive and ready to capture
growing demand. We look forward to updating the market soon with new
initiatives."
Admission & Total Voting Rights
The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares
in all respects.
Following the admission of the new ordinary shares, the total issued share
capital of the Company will be 79,170,080 ordinary shares, each with voting
rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. The above
figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by
which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the Company, under the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
