27 August 2019

BuildingIQ Inc. (ASX: BIQ), a tech-enabled services business, today announced it is offering eligible CDI holders the opportunity to participate in a Security Purchase Plan (SPP, or the Offer) following the successful completion of a Private Placement to raise $2.15 million in two tranches over the last 4 months (ASX announcements: 30 April 2019 and 25 June 2019) (Placement).

The Company has received a total of $985,000 under Tranche 2 of the Placement and will issue a total of 27,060,468 CDIs to sophisticated and professional investors on or around 28 August 2019 at an issue price of $0.364. The issue of 2,060,440 CDIs (for a total of $75,000) to a director under the Placement is subject to stockholder approval.

The SPP provides any eligible BuildingIQ stockholder with the opportunity to participate in the Company's capital raising program at the same issue price as paid by investors under Tranche 2 of the Placement. The proceeds of the funds raised through the Placement and the SPP will be used to support BuildingIQ’s greenfield business growth and working capital requirements.

The Company is offering existing holders of CDIs with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand the opportunity to subscribe for up to approximately A$15,000 or up to approximately 412,088 CDIs under the SPP without incurring any transaction costs.

The issue price under the SPP is A$0.0364 per CDI, being the same price as that paid by investors under Tranche 2 of the Placement.

The record date for the SPP is 7pm (Sydney time), Monday 26 August 2019. Full details of the SPP will be released to the ASX and mailed to eligible CDI holders shortly.

The new CDIs issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with CDIs on issue at the time of allotment.

The issue of CDIs under the SPP and Placement have not been underwritten. No broker fees or commissions have been or will be incurred for the capital raise although the Company will incur listing fees and external legal fees.

Ends.
