Share Purchase Plan Offer and Share Placement - 2008/09
BOQ raised $108 million through a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors and the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) which closed January 23, 2008. This additional capital will be used to continue to fund the organic growth opportunities in BOQ's existing business.
BOQ successfully raised $63 million of equity capital through a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors at $7.64 per share.
This placement was in addition to approximately $45 million raised from the SPP. Participating in the SPP allowed eligible shareholders to increase their BOQ shareholding at a discount to the average market price and without paying any brokerage or other charges. The issue price for the SPP was also $7.64 per share (calculated by reference to a 7.5% discount to the 5-day VWAP ended 23 January 2009).
