Sheffield software company prepares for $10m equity raise
Sheffield based WANDisco will today launch an equity raise to generate a minimum of $10m capital funding to accelerate its growth.
In an update this morning, the software company said it was undertaking a placing through an accelerated bookbuild.
In addition, some existing shareholders intend to sell around 1,045,000 existing ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the company at the price of 550 pence. This includes directors David Richards and Yeturu Aahlad in respect of 845,000 sale shares.
It is expected that the placing, when launched later today, will be conducted at the same price of 550 pence per new ordinary share of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company.
