Locate Technologies Limited secures $1.45M and a $2M ATM facility to bolster its balance sheet. The company also cancels 19 million warrants, streamlining its capital structure, while welcoming strategic investors—fueling growth for its cutting-edge delivery and logistics platforms.
Locate Technologies Limited has announced a series of strategic capital initiatives aimed at bolstering its financial resilience and supporting its growth in delivery technology. The company secured firm commitments from wholesale investors to raise US$1.45 million through the issuance of 20,714,286 shares at 7 cents each. In connection with this placement, 828,571 shares will be issued to PKN Consulting Pty Ltd as a fee for advising on the capital raise. The funds raised will not only strengthen the balance sheet but are also intended for allocation to a Bitcoin reserve—a move that the company believes could underpin future acquisitions and global expansion plans.
In addition to the placement, Locate Technologies has set up a US$2 million “At-the-Market” facility with Novus Capital Limited. This facility provides the company with the flexibility to raise additional capital incrementally. Under this arrangement, the company can issue shares at prevailing market prices in various tranches, which minimizes market disruption while aligning with current trading conditions. As collateral for the facility, the company will allocate 3,500,000 shares to Novus Capital, with ongoing monthly fees and a 5% commission on any funds raised through this channel.
The announcement also details the cancellation of 19 million warrants previously issued to Pure Asset Management. These warrants, cancelled at a rate of 2.78 cents each for a total of US$527,604, will be settled through the issuance of 7,537,204 new ordinary shares, subject to shareholder approval. This move is expected to streamline the company’s capital structure by reducing potential dilution and has introduced Pure Asset Management as a new investor in the company.
From a market sentiment perspective, the initiatives are likely to be viewed positively by those with a bullish outlook. The capital raise and flexible ATM facility enhance the company’s capacity to invest in its core technology platforms, Locate2u and Zoom2u, while the strategic move to hold Bitcoin in excess of working capital needs is seen as a forward-looking strategy to create shareholder value. New investor interest, including participation from seasoned market professionals, adds further credibility.
Conversely, there may be some bearish concerns regarding the increased dilution for existing shareholders and the inherent volatility associated with holding Bitcoin as part of the company’s treasury management. Investors who are less familiar with digital assets might view this exposure as an additional risk factor amid the overall capital restructuring. Nonetheless, the company’s commitment to transparent communication—including an upcoming live podcast discussion—aims to address these investor concerns head on.
