The Wisr Ltd (ASX: WZR) share price is in positive territory during mid-afternoon trade. This comes after the non-bank lender announced an update to its Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

Wisr completes SPP
Wisr shares are climbing today following the announcement of a successfully completed Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
In a statement to the ASX, Wisr advised it has raised $5 million to accelerate its loan book growth strategy.
The SPP received overwhelming support from eligible shareholders, totalling more than $10 million invalid applications. This is double the size of the tabled offer put towards retail investors.
As a result, Wisr will scale back the applications based on the shareholding balances of applicants at the record date. All eligible applicants, however, will not be guaranteed a minimum quantity of Wisr shares. All valid submissions will be scaled backed proportionally to around 46% of the application value.
In total, roughly 20 million new ordinary shares will be issued under the SPP after rounding and scale back is applied. The offer price was listed as the same price as the placement at 25 cents apiece.
Wisr recently completed a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors, raising $50 million.
The SPP shares are expected to be allotted to investor accounts next Tuesday, 29 June 2021.
Wisr CEO, Anthony Nantes commented:
We would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support and endorsement of the Company's business model and look forward to delivering on the strategic initiatives which are now well- funded.
