Mooreast raises $6m from fully subscribed placement

New shares account for 14.65% of its enlarged capital.

Mooreast Holdings Ltd has completed a private placement of 44.45 million new ordinary shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately $6m.

The placement shares were issued at $0.135 apiece, according to a bourse filing.

Net proceeds of about $5.8m, after deducting estimated fees and expenses, will be used entirely for the group’s ongoing projects and working capital.

The placement price represents a discount of about 2.03% to the volume-weighted average price of $0.1378 for trades done on the SGX-ST on 22 May, the last full market day before the company called a trading halt on 25 May.

The newly issued shares account for approximately 14.65% of Mooreast’s enlarged issued and paid-up share capital, excluding treasury shares, of 303.45 million shares.

The group said the placement was fully subscribed. Subscribers included Amova Asset Management and Lion Global Investors, which were approved under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Equity Market Development Programme.

Other subscribers included Asdew Acquisitions and ICH Synergrowth Fund.

ZICO Capital acted as placement agent, whilst Maybank Securities was appointed as sub-placement agent.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
