What did TPG Telecom report?
- Raised $300 million via Institutional Reinvestment Plan at $3.61 per share
- Approximately 83 million new fully-paid ordinary shares to be issued
- Offer price represented a 5% discount to TPG Telecom's last close of $3.80
- Institutional component was oversubscribed, exceeding initial target demand
- Retail Reinvestment Plan to raise up to $138 million under a prospectus

What else do investors need to know?
The Institutional Reinvestment Plan forms the final part of TPG Telecom's Capital Management and Liquidity Plan, which included returning capital to shareholders. Of note, the plan was reduced from a possible $550 million raising due to a tragic incident involving a Lebara customer and a global market downturn, both affecting trading conditions.
Proceeds from both the institutional and upcoming retail components—totalling up to $438 million—will be used mainly to further reduce bank borrowings. New shares will be issued under existing ASX Listing Rule capacity and will rank equally with existing shares.
What's next for TPG Telecom?
With the Institutional Reinvestment Plan now complete, settlement of new shares is expected on 24 November 2025, alongside the $1.61 per share capital return payment. Normal trading for new shares will start on 25 November 2025.
The Retail Reinvestment Plan's prospectus is expected around 20 November. TPG aims to further reduce debt and increase minority ownership, supporting greater stability and index weighting for its shares.
