Liberum acts as Joint Bookrunner on a £8.3m fundraising for Loungers plc

The gross proceeds of the Placing, when combined with its new bank facilities, will be used to provide sufficient liquidity in the event that Covid-19 materially impacts the Company’s sales into 2021, as well as to enable the Company to re-commence the roll-out of new sites post Covid-19 at the time trading conditions support this.

Liberum delivered significant and high quality demand, from existing institutional investors, with the Placing oversubscribed during a period of market uncertainty. The Placing Price of 90 pence represented a premium of approximately 16.1% to the closing price on the day of launch. The New Ordinary Shares represented 9.1% of the enlarged issued share capital.

Liberum has been Joint Broker to Loungers since acting as Joint Bookrunner on its IPO in April 2019. Peel Hunt acted as Joint Bookrunner.
