Underwriting Surge Shields EV1’s $1.45M Capital Raise from Market Risks

Full Underwriting Secures Capital Raise

Evolution Energy Minerals Limited (ASX, EV1) has announced that its renounceable entitlement offer, initially underwritten to $500,000, is now fully underwritten for the entire $1.45 million target. This development comes as a significant vote of confidence from Mahe Capital Pty Ltd, which has agreed to back the full amount, ensuring the company’s planned capital injection is fully secured.

Offer Details and Shareholder Incentives

The entitlement offer allows eligible shareholders to subscribe for two new fully paid ordinary shares for every five shares they currently hold. Additionally, for every two new shares subscribed, shareholders receive one free attaching option exercisable at $0.02, valid for three years. This structure provides shareholders with an attractive opportunity to increase their stake at a discount to the market price while gaining potential upside through the options.

Strategic Implications and Market Confidence

Executive Director Craig Moulton expressed satisfaction with the increased underwriting support, highlighting that it not only secures the capital raise but also signals strong backing from institutional investors. The funds raised are expected to support the company’s ongoing operations and growth initiatives within the energy minerals sector, although specific allocations have yet to be disclosed.

Next Steps and Shareholder Participation

The offer remains open until 5, 00pm AWST on 5 September 2025, with shareholders able to apply for additional shares beyond their entitlement through a top-up facility. All new shares and options issued will rank equally with existing securities and will be listed on the ASX, providing liquidity and transparency for investors.

As the offer closes, market participants will be watching closely to gauge shareholder uptake and the subsequent impact on EV1’s capital structure and strategic positioning.
