An unsatisfactorily managed "strategic alternatives process" (see HERE) has been brought to an end by Elektron Technology plc (EKT), with the company announcing that it has raised £2.34 million through a placing of 46.8 million new shares at 5p each. It plans to raise up to a further £1.16 million by way of an open offer of up to 23.2 million new shares at the same price. However, with results for the year ended 31st January 2014 showing a loss from continuing operations of £5.3 million, year-end net debt of £8 million and reporting that a shareholder is seeking court permission to make a claim “alleging various breaches of duty by the directors, including dishonesty, 'a reckless acquisition spree', illegal share price manipulation and the implementation of unfair bonus and share schemes without proper shareholder approval”, is the fundraising going to be enough?
