Zentree Investments has confirmed it will take part in a $476 million equity raising by Energy Resources Australia (ERA). ERA plans to use the money raised from the issue of new shares to finance the rehabiliation of uranium assets in the Northern Territory. Rio Tinto owns 68.39 per cent of ERA, and could boost its stake to over 90 per cent through the capital raising, as most of ERA’s minority shareholders are not expected to participate. This would allow it to move to move to compulsorily acquire the remaining ERA shares. Zentree currently owns 15.94 per cent of ERA, and can keep its stake at above 10 per cent if it buys around $48 million worth of new shares.
