Steel & Tube Holdings Limited (NZX: STU) announced on 7 August 2018 that it is seeking to raise

approximately $60.1 million of new capital through a fully underwritten, pro rata, 1 for 1.9 rights offer at

NZ$1.05 per share.

 

The Offer document is attached and will be sent to eligible shareholders on 16 August 2018.

Applications can be made online at www.shareoffer.co.nz/steelandtube from Friday 17 August 2018.

Applications must be received by 5.00pm on Monday 3 September 2018 (unless extended).

Background to the Rights Offer.

 

As announced on 7 August 2018, Steel & Tube is looking to raise approximately $80.9 million which will

be used to repay debt, strengthening the company’s balance sheet and providing greater flexibility for

Steel & Tube to execute its strategy and deliver better value for shareholders.

 

The Rights Offer follows a $20.8 million placement which was successfully completed on 7 August 2018,

with strong support from existing and new institutional investors.

 

Under the Rights Offer, eligible shareholders are entitled (but not obliged) to subscribe for 1 new share

for every 1.9 existing shares held as at 5.00pm on the record date of 15 August 2018, at an issue price of

$1.05 per new share. This represents a 28.1% discount to the closing share price on the NZX on 6 August

2018 and a 18.3% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price (TERP) of $1.28 per share, post the

Placement and the Rights Offer, based on the pre-announcement close of $1.46.

 

Any entitlements that are not taken up by eligible shareholders and entitlements of ineligible

shareholders will be offered for sale in the shortfall bookbuild. Eligible retail shareholders will have the

opportunity to participate in this bookbuild alongside institutional investors.
