On 12th April 2019, ReNu Energy Limited (ASX:RNE) announced that it would raise around $5.5 million (before costs) via a pro-rata non-renounceable shareholder entitlement offer for growing and expanding the companyâs bioenergy and solar PV businesses.
The offer entitles eligible shareholders to acquire three new shares for every four existing shares held in ReNu Energy at 6.6 cents per share. The eligible shareholders on the register as at 7.00 PM (Sydney time) on Thursday, April 18, 2019, are entitled to participate. The offer is not underwritten. It will include the issuance of 83,215,306 shares (Maximum) at the issue price of $0.066 per share.
A top-up facility will allow eligible shareholders the opportunity to apply for additional new shares in excess of their entitlement at the same issue price of 6.6 cents per share, subject to the scale back at the discretion of the company.

The capital raised from the offer will be used for growing and expanding the companyâs bioenergy and solar businesses, including the costs of undertaking necessary due diligence and commercial negotiations, and working capital as ReNu Energy works towards its 2019 target of adding a further 9MW of installed generation capacity and becoming earnings cash flow positive.
