Stock Soars as Investors Back Merger Strategy

The rally followed confirmation that the company successfully raised AU$130 million through an institutional placement, strengthening its balance sheet to support its planned merger with Barrenjoey Capital Partners.

AU$130 Million Placement Draws Strong Demand
The company issued approximately 15.4 million new shares at AU$8.45 each, generating AU$130 million in fresh capital. The placement process saw solid demand from current shareholders as well as new institutional investors, reflecting widespread confidence in the deal.
Alongside the institutional raising, the company plans to roll out a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan aiming to raise an additional AU$20 million, allowing eligible investors to buy shares at AU$8.45 each. Individual investors can apply for up to AU$30,000 worth of shares under the plan.
Funding a Bigger Stake in Barrenjoey
The proceeds from both the placement and the SPP will be used to acquire an additional 10% economic interest in Barrenjoey from an affiliate of Barclays PLC for AU$148.9 million.
Management has described the merger as transformative, positioning the group to expand its specialist financial services capabilities and create long-term value.
With strong institutional backing and a clear acquisition strategy, Magellan’s latest capital raise could mark a pivotal turning point in its next chapter of growth.
