Elixinol Global Limited (Elixinol Global or the Company) (ASX:EXL; OTCQX:ELLXF) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an institutional placement (Placement) to fund its ongoing expansion initiatives, with a particular focus on growing its USA CBD business.

The Company will issue approximately 12.8 million shares at A$3.90 per share, representing an 8.7% discount to the last closing price as at Monday, 3 June 2019. The Placement represents 10.3% of the Company’s shares on issue prior to the Placement.

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to:

  • Continue global expansion plans, with a particular focus on the USA CBD market;
  • Provide general working capital funding required as part of continued expansion;
  • Expand Elixinol’s production facilities in Colorado, USA by an additional ~23,000 square feet to more than double the Company’s current production capacity; and
  • Undertake opportunistic strategic acquisitions and enter joint ventures in select markets.

Elixinol Global Chief Executive Officer, Mr Paul Benhaim, said: “I acknowledge the strong support of new and existing institutional investors to accelerate the Company’s expansion in the US and globally.

We are witnessing an unprecedented positive shift in consumer appetite for CBD and hemp derived products. Elixinol plans to double its current production capacity in the US. Further, by securing additional raw materials, the Company will be well positioned to accelerate the growth of Elixinol branded CBD products and strategic opportunities.”

Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement.

The Placement shares were issued under the Company’s placement capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will settle on Tuesday, 11 June 2019 with allotment and trading to occur on Wednesday, 12 June 2019.

New shares issued under the Placement will rank pari passu with existing fully paid ordinary shares.
