The placement is not likely to be completed until early next week, according to CEO Graham Melrose, and the rights issue will take another 3-4 weeks to complete. Shareholder approval is not required for the process.
Melrose said the placement price would be subject to a book building exercise, but would be likely to be in the region of $2.40-2.70.
The company is in voluntary suspension while it finalises the placement.
