Intelligent Monitoring Group Limited (ASX: IMB) (IMG or the Company) is pleased to announce

that it has successfully completed the institutional component of the accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer) originally announced on 20 May 2022, raising approximately $5.0 million at a price of $0.15 per share.

The retail component of the entitlement offer (Retail Entitlement Offer) will open on 27 May 2022. A maximum of approximately $5.0 million may be raised under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Institutional Entitlement Offer

The Institutional Entitlement Offer was strongly supported by existing shareholder Black Crane Asia Pacific Opportunities Fund (Black Crane), an entity controlled by the Company's chairman Mr Peter Kennan, which subscribed for approximately $4.7 million under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. The Company has agreed to pay Black Crane a fee of 5.0% on its total $7 million commitment.

Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will be issued at the same price as the Retail Entitlement Offer ($0.15 per share) and are expected to be allotted on 31 May 2022.

Intelligent Monitoring Group Limited's Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Dennison Hambling, said:

"Since recapitalisation the Company has been focused on putting in place its new core operating platform, assessing strategic acquisitions and looking at how to enhance its growth profile further. Whilst we are disappointed to be raising at the current share price levels, we feel that the addition of

Mammoth to the business should improve the growth profile of the business over our three-year plan period and ultimately its value is such that it still made sense to proceed.

Today IMG has a business with a very strong (>95%) recurring revenue base and will look to use the momentum from the AIS and Mammoth acquisitions to continue to drive towards becoming Australia's leading security and connected camera company".

Partially underwritten Retail Offer

In conjunction with the successful completion of the $5.0 million Institutional offer, Bell Potter Securities Limited and Morgans Corporate Limited (together, the JLMs) have agreed to underwrite $2.7 million of the Retail Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions pursuant to an underwriting agreement with the Company (Underwriting Agreement). Accordingly, this means that the Company has, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, certainty of raising at least approximately $7.7 million from the Entitlement Offer.

In the execution of the JLMs' obligations, they are entitled to engage with sub-underwriters on their own terms and expense. The JLMs have entered into a sub-underwriting agreement (Black Crane Agreement) with Black Crane, pursuant to which Black Crane has agreed to sub-underwrite approximately $2.3 million of any shortfall in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the JLMs will be entitled to receive:

  • a management fee of 2% (plus GST) of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer;
  • a selling/underwriting fee of 4% (plus GST) on the amount of the Entitlement Offer that is underwritten (excluding amounts received from Black Crane).

The JLMs' obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, including to partially underwrite and manage the Entitlement Offer, are conditional on certain matters, including lodgement of certain ASX materials in accordance with the agreed timetable, and the timely delivery of certain due diligence materials, sign-offs, opinions and certificates by the Company.

If certain conditions are not satisfied, or certain events occur, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, the JLMs may terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement without cost or liability, at any time before settlement of the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Termination of Underwriting Agreement and/or the Black Crane Agreement may have an adverse impact on the ability of the Company to proceed with the Retail Entitlement Offer and the quantum of funds raised. If the Underwriting Agreement and/or the Black Crane Agreement are terminated, there is no guarantee that the Retail Entitlement Offer will proceed in its current form or at all.

The JLMs may terminate the underwriting obligations upon the occurrence of certain termination events. Further details of these termination events are set out in Appendix 1. The Black Crane Agreement can only be terminated if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated.

Retail Entitlement Offer

Eligible shareholders may participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the same price ($0.15 per share) and offer ratio (1 new share for every 1 share held) as the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

Eligible retail shareholders with a registered address on the Company's share register in Australia and New Zealand as at the record date for the Entitlement Offer (7.00pm AEST on 24 May 2022) are entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Further details in relation to the Retail Entitlement Offer will be provided in the retail offer booklet, to be despatched to eligible shareholders on 27 May 2022. The offer closes at 5.00pm AEST on 15 June 2022.

Eligible retail shareholders will also have the ability to subscribe for additional new shares in excess for their entitlements, to be allocated in a retail shortfall facility.

Please note that retail shareholders with a registered address outside of Australia and New Zealand on the record date are ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. The Company has applied to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to appoint Morgans Financial Limited as foreign sale nominee to sell the shares which would otherwise have been issued to ineligible shareholders, with the net proceeds (if any) distributed to ineligible shareholders, in order for Black Crane to rely on the rights issue exception in item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act in the event its voting power increases as a result of the Entitlement Offer, without breaching section 606 of the Corporations Act. As at the date of this announcement, ASIC's decision is pending.

IMB shares are expected to resume trading on the ASX from market open on Tuesday, 24 May 2022.
