- Conditional issuance of 12.9 million shares and 6.45 million options to Executive Chairman pending shareholder approval

Nanoveu’s Capital Raise Expansion
Nanoveu Limited has announced a supplementary prospectus that updates its original capital raising plans first outlined on 8 May 2025. The key development is an additional firm commitment of $310,000 from an existing strategic participant, increasing the total placement to $3.02 million. This upsizing reflects strong investor interest and confidence in the company’s growth prospects.
Revised Share and Option Issuance
The company will now issue 84,516,129 new shares and 42,258,064 new options under its placement capacity. Notably, an additional 12,903,226 shares and 6,451,613 options are proposed to be issued to Executive Chairman Dr David Pevcic, subject to shareholder approval expected in early July 2025. If shareholders do not approve, these securities will not be issued and the company will forgo the associated $400,000 commitment from Dr Pevcic.
Incentives for Joint Lead Managers
Evolution Capital and 62 Capital, acting as Joint Lead Managers, will receive a combined fee of $181,200, representing 6% of the gross amount raised (excluding GST), alongside 15,100,000 new options. This aligns their interests with the company’s ongoing capital market activities and incentivizes their continued support.
Impact on Capital Structure and Dilution
Following completion of the offers, the total number of options on issue will increase from approximately 235 million to nearly 300 million. The fully diluted share capital will rise to about 1.26 billion shares, assuming all securities are issued and no other conversions occur. The company confirms that no existing shareholder will exceed a 19.9% ownership threshold post-offer, maintaining regulatory compliance and shareholder balance.
Ongoing Disclosure and Next Steps
The supplementary prospectus also updates the risk factors and continuous disclosure obligations, incorporating recent announcements related to the placement and securities issuance. Investors are advised to monitor the upcoming shareholder meeting outcomes, which will determine the final allocation to the Executive Chairman and potentially influence the company’s capital structure and funding position.
Bottom Line?
Nanoveu’s capital raise expansion signals growing investor appetite but hinges on shareholder approval for key executive allocations.
Questions in the middle?
- Will shareholders approve the issuance of shares and options to Executive Chairman Dr Pevcic?
- How will the increased number of options affect future dilution and share price performance?
- What strategic initiatives will the additional capital support in Nanoveu’s wearable technology business?
