ReNu Energy (ASX:RNE) has raised $2.3m through a placement of 26.4m shares to progress its portfolio of renewable and clean energy investments, ahead of completing the acquisition of Countrywide Renewable Hydrogen Ltd.
The company said demand from sophisticated and professional investors exceeded more than two times the amount raised at an issue price of 9c per share.
Managing director and CEO Greg Watson said: “Our focus now is on completing the acquisition of 100% of Countrywide Renewable Hydrogen Limited, advancing the pipeline of green hydrogen opportunities and progressing the company’s other investments.”
RNE shareholders will have the opportunity to invest on the same terms as the private placement offer announced on December 6 in a new share purchase plan for up to $30,000 worth of new shares.
The goal is to raise $1.5m at 9c per share with shareholders set to receive one attaching option for every four shares subscribed for, with a strike price of $0.07 per share and an expiry date of December 31, 2023.
Proceeds will be spent towards advancing the pipeline of green hydrogen opportunities, progressing other renewable and clean energy investments, meeting the costs of the offer, and providing funds for general corporate costs and working capital.
