Rua announces details of capital raise

Capital raise – Pro-rata renounceable Rights Offer Rua is today announcing an offer to existing shareholders an opportunity to participate in our renoucenable rights issue of 1 New Shares for every 3 Existing Shares to raise up to $2million (“Rights Offer”). The Rights Offer, if fully subscribed, along with proceeds of the expected Gisborne property sale, is expected to fund the business to a self-sustaining position. This comes at a pivotal stage in the company’s evolution, with Rua now generating meaningful revenue across three markets — Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. FY25 revenue of $1.9 million represents strong growth from $322,000 in FY24. With the growth trajectory now well established, the Board and management expect revenue to exceed $3 million by the end of FY26. In addition the sales for Q1 FY26 are a record and we expect this growth to continue. Rua intends to use the cash raised through the Rights Offer to fund working capital and marketing activities to support our growth opportunities. This includes new products in our key international markets of Germany, Australia, UK and Czechia. The Rights Offer, if fully subscribed, along with proceeds of the expected Gisborne property sale, is expected to fund the business to a self-sustaining position. The issue price under the Rights Offer is $0.025 per share, representing a 35% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of Rua shares up to 31 October 2025. Rua notes that this price reflects that the Rights Offer is being offered to existing eligible shareholders resident in New Zealand or Australia and differs to the potential issue of new shares authorised by shareholders at the recent annual shareholders’ meeting at an issue price of $0.03 per share via a potential placement to new investors. Eligible shareholders who take up their rights in full may also apply for any number of additional shares at the same issue price under the Oversubscription Facility. The key dates for the Rights Offer are as follows: Announcement of the Offer Monday, 3 November 2025 Rights Trading Opens Friday, 7 November 2025 Record Date 5pm, Monday, 10 November 2025 Opening Date of the Offer 2pm, Tuesday, 11 November 2025 Rights Trading Closes Monday, 24 November 2025 Closing Date of the Offer Friday, 28 November 2025 Announcement of Results of the Offer Tuesday, 2 December 2025 Issue Date Thursday, 4 December 2025 Quotation of New Shares on NZX Main Board Thursday, 4 December 2025 Further Information Rua has lodged an Investor Presentation and Offer Document with the NZX today.
