Cloud backup and archiving software provider Dropsuite (DSE) has received binding commitments to undertake a $20 million placement.

Approximately 95.2 million new fully paid ordinary shares will be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors at 21 cents.

Shares are expected to settle on August 20 and be allocated on August 23.

Dropsuite will use the money to accelerate its growth objectives, advance merger and acquisition opportunities, and strengthen its balance sheet.
