Chemeq (ASX: CMQ) has confirmed that its capital raising will include a placement of around AUD$10 million to institutions and sophisticated investors, as well as an underwritten rights offer of around $40 million to existing shareholders.

The placement is not likely to be completed until early next week, according to CEO Graham Melrose, and the rights issue will take another 3-4 weeks to complete. Shareholder approval is not required for the process.

Melrose said the placement price would be subject to a book building exercise, but would be likely to be in the region of $2.40-2.70.

The company is in voluntary suspension while it finalises the placement.
