FBR’s Managing Director & CEO, Mike Pivac: “We are pleased to have attracted support from both our
existing institutional and sophisticated investors as well as a number of new institutional and
sophisticated investors that hold a long term positive view of the compelling commercial case for
FBR’s robotic technology. The funds raised will be used to deliver on FBR’s 12-month objectives as
stated in our latest Corporate Presentation. We believe this positions the Company very well for
scaling of its robotic technology and unique Wall as a Service® commercial model beyond our initial
current active market of Western Australia when the COVID-19 situation eases in other global markets.
We are also looking forward to demonstrating the next iteration of the Hadrian X®, the Hadrian X® 109+,
which is designed to be faster and even more commercially attractive than our current prototype, as
well as commencing work on its successor, the Hadrian X® 110.”
The Company is not aware of any reason why the ASX would not allow trading to recommence
