Key Petroleum Fully Utilises Placement Capacity in Targeted Capital Raise

An update from Key Petroleum Limited ( (AU:KEY) ) is now available.

Key Petroleum Ltd has completed the placement of the remaining 3% of its previously announced capital-raising capacity, securing binding commitments for 1,015,286 new fully paid ordinary shares at AUD $0.058 each to raise approximately AUD $58,886.59 before costs. This final tranche fully utilises the company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, with proceeds earmarked for acquiring assets with development upside, maintaining and developing existing assets, and bolstering working capital, signalling a focus on growth and operational strengthening within its portfolio.

Settlement of the placement is expected on or before 1 May 2026, with the new shares to be issued shortly thereafter and no later than 6 May 2026. By exhausting its current placement headroom, Key Petroleum consolidates its near-term funding base without seeking immediate shareholder approval, positioning itself to pursue asset opportunities and maintain its existing operations while potentially enhancing value for stakeholders through targeted capital deployment.
