Offer Summary

Little Island is a leading New Zealand plant-based food manufacturer, producing a range of dairy-free products. The company's vision is to challenge the traditional dairy market and to become part of the daily family diet by creating delicious products from the best plant-based ingredients.

Little Island’s Board has been investigating a variety of funding options to support its future strategy, and in the short term, requires an injection of new funds to support this year’s plan.  Accordingly, the Board is offering Wholesale qualified investors an opportunity to invest in a Convertible Loan on the terms set out on the 'Offer' tab. The pricing and structure of the loan is designed to be attractive and work with the other funding activities we are investigating.  The Company is seeking to raise $500,000 in this offer, with $250,000 already committed to, or underwritten, by parties associated with the Directors and major shareholders. The Board will consider oversubscription.

Alongside this offer, Little Island has appointed a corporate advisory firm, Three Sixty Capital Partners to seek a strategic investor for the business. This opportunity was taken to the market last week and we are working through initial responses. The positioning of this offer is that Little Island has a strong brand in an exciting category, but its financial performance is hampered with the low margins it generates in the milk and yoghurt ranges. Accordingly, the ideal partner would be an entity that can support these areas of our business or help open export opportunities.  The Information Memorandum for that offer outlines the current position of the business and future strategy and can be downloaded from the 'Offer' tab.  

The Company recently hosted a webinar for shareholders and wholesale investors interested in the Convertible Loan. The Webinar was attended by Christian Holden (General Manager), Wade Gillooly (new Chair) and Matt McKendry (past Chair) and provided investors with an opportunity to hear about the current strategy and to ask any questions.
