Completion of Share Consolidation and Total Voting Rights

All stats from before this period fairly meaningless
A Brief History.
The decision to go ‘all in’ on office blocks only after Covid, when lots of workers were working from home, seemed perverse and so it proved.
Further to the Company’s announcement on 27 June 2024, Regional REIT is pleased to announce that shareholder approval of the Capital Raising and Share Consolidation was obtained at today’s Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Company has therefore raised approximately £110.5 million of gross proceeds, in aggregate, by way of a fully underwritten Placing, Overseas Placing and Open Offer of 1,105,149,821 New Ordinary Shares.
The Capital Raising was fully underwritten by Bridgemere Investments Limited (“Bridgemere”), which is part of the Bridgemere group of companies established by Steve Morgan CBE.
Regional REIT Ltd shares fell on Thursday, after the commercial property investor announced a GBP110.5 million fundraising plan.
It will raise the funds through a placing, overseas placing and open offer of 1.11 billion shares at 10p each.
Shares in Regional REIT were down 30% to 15.27 pence each in London on Thursday morning.
The overseas placing concerns existing shareholders in “certain restricted jurisdictions” where an open offer cannot be made.
In addition, it announced a 1 for 10 share consolidation.
The fundraise will enable it to repay a GBP50 million retail bond.
It added that GBP26.3 million will go towards trimming debt and remaining GBP28.4 million will provide it with “provide additional flexibility to fund selective capital expenditure on assets”.
Chair Kevin McGrath said: “The capital raising, supported by Bridgemere, will enable the company to strengthen significantly Regional REIT’s financial position, reducing indebtedness and provide the company with greater financial flexibility and liquidity headroom.”
Following shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting held on the 18 July 2024, the Company successfully raised £110.5m of gross proceeds in aggregate, by way of a fully underwritten Placing, Overseas Placing and Open Offer of 1,105,149,821 New Ordinary Shares. The Capital Raise was fully underwritten by Bridgemere Investments Limited whom we now welcome as a significant new Shareholder with a holding of 18.7%.
