Oil and gas company Brookside Energy (BRK) has managed to raise $1.38 million via a capital raise.

Brookside first announced it was raising capital in early August, via a non-renounceable one-for-four entitlement offer.

It planned to raise over $1.5 million via the entitlement offer, and issuing of attaching options, however, that number has since been scaled back.

Instead Brookside said it had managed to raise $758,000 at the close of the offer in late August. It also announced it had organised a shortfall placement.

That shortfall placement closed today, and the company said the placement managed to raise an additional $497,000 in funds.

Additionally, Brookfield said it had successfully placed 26 million shares through an oversubscription payment — raising another $131,000 in extra cash.

Under all three offers, new shares were sold for 0.5 cents each and came with an attaching option. The options have an exercise price of 1.1 cents each and will expire on June 30, 2022.

All up, Brookfield raised $1.38 million through the entitlement offer, shortfall placement and oversubscription placement.

It said the majority of the funds will go towards progressing its acquisition and development activities in the Anadarko Basin, in Oaklahoma, otherwise known as the Orion Project.

Shares in Brookside Energy are trading steady, for 0.5 cents per share at 1:58 pm AEST.
