Australian Rural Capital (ARC) is conducting a fully underwritten pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise around $3.1 million.

The agribusiness investment company will issue 14.89 million new shares to eligible shareholders who’ll also be given the option to subscribe for one new share for every one existing ARC share held at 5.00pm on Thursday, May 13, 2021.

ARC’s largest shareholder, Capital H Management, holds a 19.91-per-cent interest in the company and has committed to subscribe for its entire entitlement in the offer.
