Biolight Life Sciences: Raise Up To Nis12m In Rights Offering

 | Jun 20, 2017 02:14AM ET

BioLight Life Sciences Ltd (TA:BOLT) is engaging in a shareholder rights offering of up to NIS12m (if fully subscribed) to strengthen its balance sheet. While BioLight had NIS20.2m net cash at Q117, most was held at subsidiaries, and only NIS4.7m was directly available to the parent firm; hence the imminent funding need. The four largest shareholders (representing 55%) will participate to some degree in the rights offering. If fully subscribed, we estimate the rights offering can provide funding into at least Q417. Our model, which does not yet include the rights offering or the potential IOPtima sale to a Chinese investor, derives an rNPV valuation of NIS92.9-103.4m.
