Perth-based internet services provider Pentanet is rattling the tin for $22.5 million to expand the footprint of its fixed-wireless network.
The company, chaired by former iiNet chief executive David Buckingham, is seeking backing for an issue of 89.8 million new shares at 25¢ a piece in an initial public offer through Euroz Hartleys.
Market sources have confirmed the prospectus for Pentanet will be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission this Friday.
It is understood the IPO implied a $66m market capitalisation for the company, which was founded in 2017 and provides a range of services for residential, commercial and enterprise customers.
Pentanet owns and operates Perth’s largest fixed-wireless network, delivering high speeds within the 2000sqkm of coverage across the metropolitan area.
It claims its infrastructure offers a superior customer experience to the NBN.
The company doubled its staff numbers from 22 to more than 45 last financial year, while subscriber numbers have jumped 218 per cent in the past 12 months.
Mr Buckingham was named Pentanet’s board chairman in September. He spent eight years at iiNet as its CFO and then CEO prior to leaving in 2015, and went on to become the CEO of global education provider Navitas.
Of the $22.5m Pentanet is seeking to raise, it is understood $10.5m would be used to expand its fixed-wireless network and roll out new 5G technology developed by Facebook.
A further $4m would be used to deploy its cloud-gaming partnership with US chip manufacturer NVIDIA, and $8m would be saved for working capital.
Pentanet founders Stephen and Tim Cornish, and Melbourne-based Thorney Investment Group are among the substantial shareholders.
