Alvo Minerals Limited (ASX: ALV) has started a $1.56 million accelerated entitlement offer. The company wants to raise money by giving shareholders two new shares for every three shares they already own. Each new share costs 2 cents. For every two new shares bought, shareholders will get one free option. These options let holders buy shares later at 5 cents each and will expire in three years.
The offer is split into parts for institutional and retail investors and is not underwritten. This means there is no guarantee that all shares will be sold. Shareholders can buy more shares than their entitlement through a shortfall offer if they want.
The money raised will be used mainly to continue exploration at Alvo’s critical minerals projects, especially the Palma Copper and Zinc project in Brazil. Some funds will also go to other gold and copper projects in the country. A portion will support general working capital to help with daily operations.
The offer price is a 60% discount from the company’s closing share price of 5.1 cents on May 14, 2025. This discount aims to encourage more shareholders to take part in the funding.
Alvo Minerals is also offering up to 4 million Lead Manager Options. These are part of the fee arrangement for the company’s lead managers. The board can change how the funds are used based on new situations. This gives flexibility to make decisions that benefit shareholders the most.
The entitlement offer is non-renounceable. This means shareholders cannot sell their rights to others. Eligible shareholders are invited to subscribe before the deadline. The company encourages participation to support its growth plans.
This capital raise is part of Alvo Minerals’ effort to grow its mining projects in Brazil. The company focuses on critical minerals that are important for technology, energy, and manufacturing industries.
