Spirit Technology Solutions Ltd (ASX:ST1) has successfully completed the retail component of its entitlement offer, raising approximately A$10 million before costs. The completion of the Retail Entitlement Offer represents the final stage of the entitlement offer first announced by Spirit to ASX on 23 August 2024, which, along with the placement, raised approximately A$20 million before costs.
We are delighted to have structured this equity raising to give every shareholder of Spirit the opportunity to participate on equal terms and at the same issue price as the placement announced on 23 August 2024, and equally appreciate the support of UCP and sub-underwriters in underwriting the Entitlement Offer. I would like to thank all our existing shareholders who have supported the Entitlement Offer, and we now look forward to delivering on our strategic transformation that is underway to significantly enhance our national cyber capabilities, alongside our newly restructured managed services business. This equity raise will support the acquisition and integration of Forensic IT, one of Australia's leading Digital Forensics and Incident Response organisations, as announced on 23 August 2024. We are well on the path to building one of Australia's leading cyber security capabilities.
