Fundraise plans

No
  • No immediate plans for new fundraising through debt or equity as the company's cash accruals and expansion plans are well synchronized.
  • Shareholder approval for issuance of share debentures exists as an enabling provision to avoid last-minute rush if capital is needed, but currently, there is no requirement for additional capital.
