- The capital raising proceeds will go towards:
- Accelerating development of Freight AI, TradeWindow’s next-generation freight forwarding operating system.
- Strengthening the Company’s balance sheet including repayment of debt.
- Supporting growth in Australia, New Zealand and other markets.
- Facilitating TradeWindow’s Foreign Exempt Listing on the ASX.
- The proposed capital raising follows strong interest from existing and new investors during a recent roadshow, including from Australian institutional investors.
- Further details on Q2 FY26 and 1H FY26 performance will be released with financial results on 28 November 2025 and are expected to be consistent with the unaudited results announced on 4 November 2025.

TradeWindow, a leading provider of digital trade and logistics solutions, today announces that it is launching a Placement to raise approximately A$5 million (NZ$5.76 million), with the ability to accept oversubscriptions at TradeWindow’s discretion.
The Placement will commence today (Friday, 21 November 2025), with a trading halt granted by NZX pending completion of the Placement which is expected by the market open on Tuesday, 25 November 2025. The issuance of shares under the Placement is conditional on shareholder approval of the Placement at a Special Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in early December 2025, ASX approval of TradeWindow’s application for a Foreign Exempt Listing on the ASX, and the Company’s listing on that exchange.
The capital raising and move towards an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing follows positive engagement from existing and new investors during TradeWindow's most recent roadshow in Australia. The Placement Shares will be issued at AU$0.22/NZ$0.25 per share, representing a 20% discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over the 10 trading days prior to this announcement.
TradeWindow has appointed Bell Potter Securities Limited to act as sole arranger of the Placement.
The new capital raise in the Placement will be used to accelerate the development of TradeWindow’s Freight AI operating system, its next generation freight forwarding solution, to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet including repayment of debt, to support the growth of the Company in Australia and New Zealand and further afield and to facilitate the Company’s Foreign Exempt Listing on the ASX.
TradeWindow CEO AJ Smith said: “We are very pleased with the positive feedback received during the roadshow from existing investors and particularly from new Australian institutional investors we expect to bring onto the TradeWindow share register as part of this Placement.
“These investors, who are familiar with the dynamics in the Australian market, share our view that there is a clear unmet need in the market for a high degree of automation and decision support within modern freight forwarding. They also recognise TradeWindow is well positioned to capture this opportunity.”
Mr Smith reiterated comments made in TradeWindow’s Q2 FY26 investor update that the development of the Company’s AI freight operating system continues to progress strongly. The first module of Freight AI, its e-commerce solution, is expected to be delivered before the end of the financial year.
“Our confidence in our future is strong, with our Q2 FY26 results demonstrating our ability to deepen customer relationships, expand our recurring revenue base and invest in innovation,” Mr Smith said.
TradeWindow will provide further detail on its performance for the half year to the end of September 2025 (Q2 FY26 and 1H FY26) when it releases its financial results for this period on 28 November 2025. These results are expected to be consistent with those provided in the recent update.
