19 September 2016
 

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION, RELEASE, OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN, OR INTO, THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE SAME WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF SECURITIES FOR SALE INCLUDING IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR SOUTH AFRICA OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

HICL Infrastructure Company Limited (the "Company" or "HICL")

 

Issue of Equity

 

Introduction

 

The Board of HICL today announces a proposal to raise £76 million through an issue of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") by way of tap issuance (the "Issue"). The Issue will be made to qualifying investors* through HICL's corporate broker, Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord Genuity").

 

The net proceeds of the Issue will be applied in addressing the Company's net funding requirement, which currently stands at approximately £76 million and which is due to increase to £148m once the Company's conditional investment in the A63 motorway project is completed in Q1 2017.

 

Given the pipeline of investment opportunities currently being considered by the Investment Adviser, as a result of which the Company may soon have additional funding requirements, and in light of the forthcoming investment in the A63 project, the Directors will give consideration to increasing the size of the Issue in the event of material excess demand for New Ordinary Shares. At present, the Company has the ability to issue up to 81,922,684 New Ordinary Shares by way of tap issuance, allowing it to raise a maximum of approximately £145 million.

 

 

Details of the Issue and expected timetable

Under the terms of the Issue, HICL intends to issue Ordinary Shares of 0.01 pence each in the capital of the Company, under authority granted by Shareholders at its Annual General Meeting on 19 July 2016.

 

The Issue will be non pre-emptive and will be launched immediately following this announcement, when Canaccord Genuity will commence a bookbuilding process to determine the level of demand from potential investors for participation in the Issue. The number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued and the price per Share (the "Strike Price") will be agreed between Canaccord Genuity and the Company following close of the bookbuild at 10.00 a.m. on Thursday 22 September, and announced shortly thereafter. Canaccord Genuity and the Company reserve the right to set a maximum percentage of New Ordinary Shares that may be allocated to any one investor.

 

The New Ordinary Shares are not being offered at a fixed price. To bid in the bookbuild, investors should communicate their bid (or bids) by telephone to their usual sales contact at Canaccord Genuity. Each bid should state the number of New Ordinary Shares for which the prospective investor wishes to subscribe and the price or price range that the prospective investor is offering to pay; any bid price must be for a full pence or half pence amount. The Strike Price will be in excess of the Company's prevailing net asset value per Ordinary Share.

The bookbuild is expected to close at 10.00 a.m. (London time) on 22 September 2016 but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Company and Canaccord Genuity. Canaccord Genuity may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the bookbuild has closed.

Subject to the above, Canaccord Genuity may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company, and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as the Company and Canaccord Genuity may determine. Canaccord Genuity may also, notwithstanding the above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (i) allocate New Ordinary Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time, and (ii) allocate New Ordinary Shares after the bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The Company reserves the right to reduce the amount to be raised pursuant to the Issue.

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority for admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA and to London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of the New Ordinary Shares on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 26 September 2016 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities will commence at that time.

 

* As defined in section 86(7) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended).
