Share purchase plan details

Investors are sending Aussie Broadband shares higher following the company's invitation to retail shareholders to participate in its SPP.

Following the successful $114 million institutional placement, Aussie Broadband has extended its offer to eligible shareholders.

Under the SPP, investors can apply to buy a parcel of Aussie Broadband shares for $4.00 per share. The same terms offered in the placement represent a discount of 13.6% on the last closing price on 6 September (when the SPP was announced).

Investors can apply for a minimum application amount of $2,500 with a maximum application amount of $30,000.

Aussie Broadband is seeking to raise a total of $10 million through the SPP. However, this can be scaled back or increased depending on the total value of the applications.

The proceeds raised will be used towards funding a number of initiatives for the company. These include acquisitive growth by mergers and acquisitions, new business product and technology development, and increasing fibre and network assets.

The closing date for the SPP will be 1 October. Allotment of the new shares, as well as trading on the ASX, will be available from 8 October.
