Capital Raise to Support Near-Term Priorities

Pilot Energy Limited (ASX: PGY) has announced that it has received binding commitments to raise AU$3.44 million at the time of writing via a placement to sophisticated, professional, and institutional investors. The placement comprises the issuance of 955,554,882 newly issued fully paid ordinary shares, each priced at AU$0.0036 at the time of writing.

The issue price reflects a 10.0% discount at the time of writing to the company’s most recent traded share price prior to the placement. The offer attracted demand in excess of the amount sought, highlighting investor interest in the company’s strategy.

Use of Funds and Operational Focus

Proceeds from the placement will be applied across several priority areas. At the time of writing, approximately AU$2.2 million has been allocated toward Cliff Head operations, while around AU$0.3 million will support the Capture 6 Direct Air Capture project. The remaining funds, approximately AU$1.0 million, will be directed toward corporate costs, working capital, and expenses associated with the capital raising.

The funding, together with existing cash reserves, is expected to provide sufficient financial flexibility to progress multiple initiatives currently under evaluation.

Placement Structure and Timeline

The placement has been structured in two tranches. Tranche One, raising approximately AU$1.90 million at the time of writing, will be completed under the company’s existing placement capacity. Tranche Two, expected to raise AU$1.54 million at the time of writing, includes participation from directors and senior management and is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Settlement of Tranche One is anticipated in early February 2026, while Tranche Two is expected to complete later in February following shareholder approval.

Management Participation and Options

Directors and senior management have committed approximately AU$200,000 at the time of writing to the placement, subject to shareholder approval. Placement participants will also receive free attaching unlisted options, with additional piggyback options issued upon exercise, both subject to shareholder approval. The options issued under the placement are intended to remain unlisted and will not trade on the ASX.

Outlook

With AU$3.44 million raised at the time of writing, Pilot Energy is positioned to advance its Cliff Head operations while progressing its carbon management initiatives. Investor focus is likely to remain on the execution of commercial arrangements linked to these projects and the potential milestones that may emerge over the coming months.
