VCPlus says its directors are of the view that the proposed subscriptions are beneficial, as they will allow it to strengthen its financial position, improve its cash flow and increase the working capital available to the company.
The company will raise net cash proceeds of approximately $1.67 million, after deducting expenses of about $30,000.
In the filing, VCPlus also revealed that 40% of the proceeds will go to fund the commencement of its custodial services business after receiving the in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, while the remaining 60% will be used as working capital.
