Forgent raises £1.3m, secures 51% of Peak Hills and restructures debt into equity

EQTEC plc ( (GB:FORG) ) has issued an announcement.

Forgent plc has completed an equity fundraise of £1.3 million through a placing of new shares and has exercised its option to acquire a 51% stake in the Peak Hills project, paying part in cash and part in equity. The company has also extended its option over the remaining 48% interest, underscoring its commitment to expanding its energy transition asset base and deepening its exposure to the project.

In parallel, Forgent has finalized the issuance of deferred subscription shares to secured lenders, leaving them with 21.78% of the enlarged share capital, and agreed to settle £22,000 of creditor balances via new shares. Admission of all newly issued shares to trading on AIM will increase the company’s total shares in issue to over 25.3 billion, materially diluting existing holders but strengthening the balance sheet and aligning key financiers and creditors as equity stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on FORG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FORG is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance (ongoing losses, leverage, and negative cash flow). Technicals add further pressure due to a persistent downtrend, while valuation provides limited support given the negative P/E and lack of dividend data.
