Signs Written Agreement to Issue New Shares

This supersedes the announcement that was made on the 2nd of November 2022.

General Capital Limited (NZX:GEN) is pleased to announce that the parties have signed a written subscription agreement to issue new shares by way of two placements.

Mr Rewi Bugo, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of General Capital said “This is another step forward for the General Capital Group. We are moving as quickly as possible to have a special shareholder meeting to approve these placements later in the year.”

The first placement is to API No 1 Limited Partnership of 86,956,522 new Ordinary Shares at an issue price of NZ$0.0575 per share. This represents a total subscription price of $5 million for a shareholding of approximately 23.9% in the expanded company after both placements have been made. API No 1 Limited Partnership is a limited partnership registered in New Zealand (50127055).

The second placement is to existing shareholder Borneo Capital Ltd of 63,960,957 new Ordinary Shares also at an issue price of NZ$0.0575 per share. This will restore Borneo to their previous shareholding level of approximately 35.0% in the company, which it held prior to dilution by recent placements and the proposed API No 1 Limited Partnership placement.

Both agreements are subject to:

• All necessary shareholder approvals under NZX Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code; and
• Completion of other procedural matters.

The API No 1 Limited Partnership agreement is further conditional on the appointment of an additional non-executive director to the board of GEN and also to its subsidiary General Finance Limited.
General Capital will use most of the capital raised to increase the capital of its wholly owned subsidiary and licensed non-bank deposit taker, General Finance Limited and to pursue other opportunities to continue its strong growth in assets and profits. General Capital will continue to review its capital requirements regularly.
