- Revised timetable for pro-rata bonus issue of unquoted options
- One new option for every five shares held, exercise price 4 cents
- Eligible shareholders in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, UK, and Singapore
- Bonus issue conducted via prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX
- Company reserves right to amend dates or cancel the issue
Activeport Revises Bonus Issue Schedule
Activeport Group Ltd (ASX – ATV), a developer of orchestration software for telecommunications and data centre operators, has announced an update to the timetable for its planned pro-rata bonus issue of unquoted options. This move follows the company’s initial announcement earlier in November 2025 and provides shareholders with clearer guidance on key dates and eligibility criteria.
The bonus issue offers shareholders one new unquoted option for every five ordinary shares held as at the record date. These options carry an exercise price of 4 cents and will expire on 31 January 2028. Importantly, the offer extends beyond Australian shareholders to include those registered in New Zealand, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, reflecting Activeport’s international shareholder base.
Timetable and Regulatory Process
The company will conduct the bonus issue through a formal prospectus, which is scheduled for lodgement with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 5 December 2025. The ex-date is set for 10 December, with the record date following on 11 December. The issue date, when the new options are expected to be allocated, is planned for 18 December 2025. These dates remain indicative and subject to change, with Activeport reserving the right to amend the timetable or even cancel the bonus issue if necessary.
This structured approach ensures compliance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, providing transparency and regulatory oversight. The prospectus will offer further details on the terms of the options and the rationale behind the bonus issue, which is typically aimed at rewarding shareholders and potentially raising future capital through option exercise.
Strategic Implications for Shareholders
Activeport’s software solutions focus on enhancing network infrastructure management, including cloud-enabling traditional telecom networks and supporting emerging technologies such as cloud gaming and AI. The bonus issue could be seen as a strategic move to bolster shareholder value and incentivize long-term investment as the company continues to develop its technology offerings.
However, the issuance of new options also introduces potential dilution for existing shareholders if these options are exercised. Investors will be watching closely to see how the market responds once the options are issued and whether Activeport’s growth prospects justify the terms of the bonus issue.
Bottom Line?
Activeport’s updated bonus issue timetable sets the stage for shareholder engagement but leaves room for strategic shifts ahead.
Questions in the middle?
- Will Activeport proceed with the bonus issue or reconsider given market conditions?
- How might the exercise of new options impact share dilution and future capital structure?
- What are the company’s plans for deploying capital raised through option exercises?
