An update from Comvita ( (NZ:CVT) ) is now available.

Comvita has secured a significant new cornerstone investor, with Singapore-based F&N Ventures Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fraser and Neave and ultimately controlled by Thai Beverage, emerging with a 19.99% stake in the New Zealand listed company. The investment underscores growing regional interest in Comvita’s branded natural health platform and may strengthen its strategic links into Southeast Asian markets.

The stake arose from F&N Ventures’ underwriting of Comvita’s pro-rata renounceable rights offer and a related top-up placement, under which it agreed to take up any shortfall at NZ$0.65 per share, subject to a 19.99% cap. After completion of the rights issue and top-up, Comvita issued 25,954,823 new shares to F&N Ventures for a total of NZ$18.84 million, bolstering Comvita’s capital position while consolidating a substantial new shareholder on its register.
