Shaw and Partners was pleased to be appointed as Lead Manager to the capital raising by Apiam Animal Health.

The company successfully completed an Institutional Placement of 7.5 million fully paid shares at 80 cents per share, raising a total of $6.0 million.

Pricing for the Placement was determined via an institutional bookbuild with the Placement price of 80 cents representing a 5.9% discount to the last traded price of Apiam’s shares on 14th April 2021, and a 5.6% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares.

The Placement saw strong support from institutional investors, improving the institutional representation on Apiam’s register. Funds raised will be used to accelerate the Company’s regional expansion plans, through investment in opening new greenfield clinics as well as strategic acquisitions, in accordance with Apiam’s ongoing acquisition program.

Dr Chris Richards, Managing Director of Apiam said “The rapid growth in pet and production animal ownership in regional corridors, particularly as a result of changing population demographics and favourable seasonal conditions, has presented a very exciting market opportunity for Apiam.”

“This placement will support us in accelerating our regional expansion plans and capturing the significant growth we are seeing in many veterinary areas. As an established regional player, Apiam is well placed to scale-up and leverage these opportunities as they emerge.”

The offer was available to Australian Sophisticated and Professional Investors only.
