Defence Holdings PLC - London-based defence software maker - Raises GBP4.0 million gross from the placing of 400.0 million new shares at 1 pence each on Friday. The raise is conducted via an accelerated bookbuild announced late on Thursday, which Defence Holdings says is "significantly oversubscribed". Chief Executive Officer Andrew Roughan comments: "The additional capital will enable us to accelerate execution of our strategic playbook, pursue further high-value opportunities across our defence portfolio and deepen our participation in the UK and European defence technology ecosystem at a time of unprecedented demand for innovative, software - led capability."
Defence Holdings had announced its 'Meridian' capability programme earlier this month. The aims to unite "customer access, capital support and operational infrastructure within a single framework" to close a perceived gap between "promising technologies" and customer requirements in the defence sector.
Current stock price: 1.16 pence, down 0.9% in London on Monday
