Potential Capital Raise
APQ Global is an emerging markets growth company incorporated in Guernsey (company registration number 62008) which is listed on The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited and admitted to trading on AIM.
As announced on 13 June 2017, the Company is exploring a further capital raise in order to increase the size of the Company. The Board considers that an attractive way for the Company to raise capital at the current time for investment in accordance with its business strategy would be through the potential issue of a convertible debt instrument, comprising convertible unsecured loan stock ("CULS"). The Board believes that there may be interest from potential investors in an issue of CULS to raise approximately £20 - 25 million which would carry a circa three per cent. annual coupon (payable quarterly) with a potential seven year term, and which would have quarterly conversion rights at a 20 per cent. premium to book value per share (as at the issue date) (the "Issue").
The Company would limit the amount of CULS or other long-term debt which may be incurred by the Company to appropriate levels.
Further details will be announced in due course should the Company proceed with the Issue.
