Webcentral Group: Raises “urgent” $5.6M following 5GN takeover

  • Service provider Webcentral Group (WCG) has broken out of a trading halt earlier than expected today after tapping investors for a neat $5.6 million
  • The company requested that trading halt yesterday afternoon, telling investors the halt will last until Monday, November 16, at the latest
  • Webcentral said it needed the cash urgently to fund normal operations and pursue its growth strategy
  • This comes as fellow ASX-listed 5G Networks (5GN) completed an off-market takeover of Webcentral
  • 5GN now owns just under 57 percent of Webcentral after beating a competing Web.com offer and overcoming some regulatory hurdles
  • Investors seem supportive of the new direction for Webcentral, with shares in the company up over 14 percent and worth 24 cents each this afternoon
