(Alliance News) - Jadestone Energy PLC on Tuesday said it plans to raise over USD85 million through a placing, subscription, and open offer.
Jadestone is a London-based oil and gas production company, focused on the Asia-Pacific region.
The company said the fundraise consists of a USD50 million equity fundraise, as well as a USD35 million standby working capital facility.
It said that both will be provided by the company's largest shareholder, Tyrus Capital SAM. Tyrus holds a 26.45% stake in Jadestone.
Jadestone explained that the fundraise will provide the company with balance sheet resilience and financial flexibility.
Chief Executive Officer Paul Blakeley said: "I understand that the need for additional funding at this point in time will come as a surprise to many of our shareholders, however it was a decision not taken lightly. We understand how frustrating this must be and we are committed to improving Jadestone's governance and communications in the future."
