Green Technology shares set to debut on the ASX
The ASX's soon-to-be newest lithium share is readying to hit the market next week with an expected market capitalisation of between approximately $43 million and $45 million.
That's on the assumption it will be trading at around its offer price of 25 cents per share.
Following Green Technology Metal's $24 million prospectus' offer, it will have up to 197.5 million shares outstanding.
The company had hoped to raise between $20 million and 24 million through its IPO process.
The funds raised through Green Technology Metals' float will go towards its 3 lithium-prospective projects and their exploration. The raised funds will also help pay the offer's costs and provide working capital.
Right now, Green Technology Metals has a 51% holding in its 3 projects. The other 49% is owned by Ardiden Ltd (ASX: ADV). The projects will be run by a joint venture between the 2 companies.
According to Ardiden, Green Technology has previously paid it $1.5 million to begin the joint venture. Additionally, as part of Green Technology's float, it provided Ardiden with 9 million Green Technology shares and $1.75 million of cash.
The company now has 12 months to provide Ardiden with another $3.5 million with either cash or scrip. If it provides both tranches of shares and cash considerations, it will earn another 29% of the projects. Thus, Green Technology has the option to earn an 80% hold in its Seymour, Root, and Wisa projects.
