Freehills isIvanhoe launches capital raising acting for UBS AG, Australia Branch and Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited in relation to Ivanhoe Australia's capital raising to raise a minimum of approximately $213 million.
The capital raising has been structured as a one-for-four accelerated, non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise up to approximately $231 million - the $213 million institutional component of which is being underwritten - at $2.88 per new share.
Subject to sufficient demand, Ivanhoe Australia may also proceed with an institutional placement of up to $38 million at $2.88 per new share.
Through the exercise of options, Ivanhoe Australia may also raise up to $136 million in the future.
Freehills partner Philippa Stone said of the deal: "We are delighted to have acted for UBS and Morgan Stanley on what is a significant capital raising for Ivanhoe Australia. The free option provides investors with the benefit of any upside and also gives the company a potential source of future funding."
The Freehills team is being led by Stone, who is supported by lawyers Ivan Yu and Carl Hornigold.
