Eligible shareholders took up 1.1 million of the share on offer, raising approximately $7.2 million, and representing a take-up rate of 81 per cent.

The top-up facility was then oversubscribed, prompting JLG to scale back over-subscriptions to 62 per cent of each shareholder’s entitlement.

John Lyng Group also advised today that its acquisition of Reconstruction Experts, via a share purchase agreement, has now been completed.
