AoFrio Limited ( (NZ:AOF) ) has provided an announcement.

AoFrio Limited has raised NZ$4.559 million through a placement of 65,134,806 fully paid ordinary shares to long-term backer Wairahi Investments Limited at NZ$0.07 per share, representing about 15% of its existing ordinary shares. The capital injection is part of a staged plan to fund an accelerated growth strategy targeting higher revenue expansion than previously achievable from operating cash flows alone.

To address dilution and honour earlier commitments, the board plans a pro-rata renounceable rights issue for all eligible shareholders at the same NZ$0.07 price, with details such as ratio, timetable and record date to follow. The company says the funds will strengthen its balance sheet, improve liquidity and operating headroom, and support major growth initiatives and product innovation, while maintaining a prudent, post-COVID operating approach and providing regular trading updates to investors.
