KMD Brands completes retail leg of NZ$58.5m entitlement offer

KMD Brands Limited ( (AU:KMD) ) just unveiled an update.

KMD Brands has completed the retail component of its approximately NZ$58.5 million fully underwritten pro-rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer of new shares. Eligible retail shareholders subscribed for about 182.6 million new shares at NZ$0.06 each, raising roughly NZ$11 million and representing a participation rate of around 52 percent.

Shareholders who fully took up their entitlements also sought around NZ$4.5 million of additional shares, which will be considered in a retail shortfall bookbuild. About 169.3 million new shares not taken up, including those of ineligible shareholders, will be sold in the shortfall bookbuild, during which KMD’s shares are in a trading halt until trading resumes on 22 April 2026.

Any premium achieved above the offer price in the retail shortfall bookbuild will be returned to the relevant shareholders after tax, providing potential additional value to non-participating investors. The completion of the retail entitlement offer advances KMD’s broader capital-raising plan and supports its balance sheet, with the remaining shortfall process determining final allocation and proceeds.
