Canaccord Genuity acts as Joint Lead Manager, Bookrunner and Underwriter to Infigen Energy Limited on its A$151 million equity capital raise
Canaccord Genuity is pleased to announce the completion of a 1 for 4.6 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of ~169.7 million stapled securities at an offer price of AUD$0.89 per security, raising gross proceeds of approximately A$151 million on behalf of Infigen Energy Limited (ASX.IFN) (“Infigen”). Canaccord Genuity acted as Joint Lead Manager, Bookrunner and Underwriter for the equity raising.
Together with the existing cash reserves, the proceeds of the equity raising will be used to implement Infigen’s business strategy including developing wind and solar opportunities by financing the equity component of new projects, including the construction of the ~113 MW Bodangora wind farm in New South Wales, and increasing balance sheet flexibility to facilitate a potential refinancing of two existing Infigen debt facilities.
