MoneyMax raises $44.3m in placement ahead of SGX Mainboard transfer

The company aims to complete its listing transfer by the first week of May.

MoneyMax Financial Services Ltd. has completed a placement of 53 million new shares at $0.835 each, raising about $44.3m in gross proceeds.

The placement price represents a discount of around 3.1% to the volume weighted average price of $0.862 on 15 April on the Singapore Exchange.

Net proceeds of approximately $43.4m will be used for general working capital, including expansion of its pawnbroking portfolio and purchases of retail inventory.

The new shares represent about 5.7% of the company’s enlarged share capital of 937.5 million shares.

Following the placement, around 16.9% of the enlarged share capital will be held in public hands, meeting the minimum free float requirement.

The new shares were subscribed by long-only institutional fund managers under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Equity Market Development Programme, including Fullerton Fund Management, Lion Global Investors Limited, and Eastspring Investments (Singapore) Limited.

The company said it intends to complete its listing transfer by the first week of May and will announce the effective date in due course.

CGS International Securities Singapore Pte. Ltd., DBS Bank Ltd., and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited acted as joint bookrunners.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
