Equity Story Group Raises AU$1.204 million to Power Growth Strategy
Highlights:
Equity Story Group Limited (ASX: EQS) secured firm commitments to raise AU$1.204 million through a two-tranche placement of up to 120.42 million shares at $0.01 each, at the time of writing.
Board members — including the Chairman and two non-executive directors — participated in the placement, with their shares to be issued in the second tranche pending shareholder approval.
Proceeds will support the company’s funds-management growth strategy, strengthen the Equity Story Growth Fund, and fund its planned expansion into property investments in 2026.
Placement Signals Growth Focus
At the time of writing, Equity Story Group Limited (ASX: EQS) announced it has received firm commitments to raise AU$1.204 million through a two-tranche share placement. The company will issue up to 120.42 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.01 per share, with the second tranche subject to shareholder approval.
Director Participation and Allocation
The first tranche, covering 15.42 million shares and issued under the company’s existing 15% placement capacity, will be issued on or about 1 December 2025. The second tranche of 105 million shares will require shareholder approval. Significantly, the placement includes participation by the board — Chairman Alex Brinkmeyer and non-executive directors Albert Wong and Alex Baird are included. Their shares will be issued in the second tranche, awaiting approval.
Why It Matters for Growth and Working Capital
According to the release, the funds raised by the placement will support the company’s expansion in its funds-management business and provide working capital. Managing Director David Nolan said the board is reviewing the company’s share subscription and funds-management operations, intending to invest further in the “Equity Story Growth Fund,” while also preparing to expand into the property sector in 2026.
The Road Ahead: Risks and Potential
For small-cap companies like Equity Story, successfully deploying the funds is critical: the market will want to see performance, not just promises. Key things to watch include whether the company can grow its funds-management business meaningfully, deliver new property funds next year and manage dilution from the new shares. Shareholders are now waiting to see if this capital raise becomes the lever for meaningful scale.
