The company will remain in the halt until November 29 or when more details are released, whichever occurs first.

WOA is yet to disclose how much it intends to raise or what it will use the funds for once received.

On November 22, WOA announced it had signed a distribution agreement with Woolworths (WOW) to have Dirty Clean Foods’ oat milk, OatUP, available for purchase.

The agreement has an initial term of one year with expected revenue of $750,000 for WOA.

Beginning April 1, 2022, OatUP will be available exclusively in half of Woolworths’ stores across the country.

Eligible shareholders then received the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of shares under the share purchase plan.

WOA put the money from both the placement and SPP towards a commercial-scale oat milk facility and to develop and operate a pilot-scale lupin manufacturing facility.

Shares in WOA last traded at 85 cents on November 24. The company has a $97.29 million market cap.
