Sydney, Australia, 15th November 2021: Healthcare technology company Oneview Healthcare PLC (ASX : ONE) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an institutional placement to raise A$20 million (in two tranches, approximately A$17.5m to be issued on 19 November 2021 and approximately A$2.5 million to be issued subject to security holder approval)(Placement).

Oneview CEO, James Fitter, commented: “The Company is delighted with the support from its existing loyal securityholders, and is very pleased to welcome new Australian and Asian institutional securityholders to the register. This funding round comes at a time of great opportunity in healthcare, given the acceleration of digitalisation as a result of the pandemic. As nurse and other hospital staffing pressures and shortages worsen, we are pleased that our solution can relieve some of their burden by providing digital tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of care for both patients and providers.”  James Fitter added: “In addition to the Placement, the Company will be undertaking a Security Purchase Plan to provide an opportunity for retail investors to participate in the capital raise.”

Proceeds from the Placement and Security Purchase Plan (SPP) are intended to be used for:

  • Sales and Product Development
    • Funding to extend Oneview’s first-mover advantage as a best-in-class cloud-based healthcare solution through expansion of sales and marketing capabilities and delivery of new product enhancements
  • Scaling Cloud
    • Funds allocated to DevOps investment to deliver operational efficiency and expand scalability of Cloud Enterprise
    • Working capital primarily allocated to proven OEM hardware for fulfilling new contract requirements and for entry to new markets.
  • Balance Sheet strengthening
    • Oneview acknowledges that as it pursues larger contracts with leading healthcare providers in Australia, Asia, EU and the US, additional focus is placed on the Company’s capitalisation and ability to fund long term contracts. Major health systems seeking to integrating Oneview systems are likely to be more receptive to partnering with a well-capitalised Oneview.

 

Placement

The Placement received very strong support from existing institutional and sophisticated securityholders, as well as new Australian and Asian institutional investors.

Under the Placement, Oneview will issue 74,074,074 new CHESS depository interests (CDIs) over new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (on a 1:1 basis) in two tranches. The Placement was priced at A$0.27 per new CDI which represented a 18.2% discount to the closing price of Oneview’s CDIs on the ASX on 10 November 2021 (being the last trading day before the Company announced it was undertaking a capital raise) and a 20.8% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of Oneview’s CDIs ended 10 November 2021.

Tranche 1 of the Placement, being 65,019,787 CDIs will be issued on 19 November 2021 and the issue of Tranche 2 of the Placement, being 9,054,287 CDIs is subject to security holder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), expected to be held on Friday, 17 December 2021.
