Frequently asked questions

  • Rua requires further capital to fund the growth of its business.  The funds raised through the Rights Offer will be used mostly to meet its requirements for working capital and product purchases to support Rua’s growth plans, including international market expansion and product development.  This will strengthen the company's financial position and provide working capital which is required for growth. 

  • Up to $2.8m.

  • Follow the instructions at www.shareoffer.co.nz/rua 

  • You will need to visit Sharesies.  You will be able to purchase shares through their platform if there is a sufficient shortfall in subscriptions under the Rights Offer.

  • All investing involves risk—you aren’t guaranteed to make money, and you might lose the money you start with.

    We encourage you to do your due diligence, consider the risks involved, and speak to a licensed financial advice provider if you need help deciding whether to take part.

  • A Renounceable Rights Offer gives current Rua Bioscience shareholders the right to buy additional new shares in the company (New Shares) at a discounted price. If they do not want to purchase additional New Shares, they can give up or “renounce” their right to it, and in fact sell these rights. These rights can be traded or sold on the stock exchange between 28 September and 9 October under the ticker RUARC. You will need to instruct your broker or an NZX Firm to sell your rights, such as Sharesies. 

    In summary, if you are already a shareholder, you have a right to buy more New Shares under the Rights Offer or sell the rights to someone else.  

  • There are different ways to raise capital, but a common way is to issue new shares through a placement or a rights offer.  A rights offer is considered the fairest way as it gives all shareholders the chance to participate on the same terms.

    Rua Bioscience currently has approximately 339 million shares and plans to issue another 113 million shares (approximately) through the rights offer and any shortfall placement.  

    For every 3 shares you currently own in Rua, you will be allowed to purchase another 1 New Shares for 2.5 cents a share.   This means you will have a “Right” to 1 New Shares for every 3 you own.  

    For example, if you own 9,000 shares you will receive 3,000 rights giving you the ability to subscribe for up to 3,000 New Shares for an aggregate subscription price of $75.   

    Under the example above, you can either: 

    1. take up all or some of your Rights (i.e. buy some or all of the 3,000 New Shares up to $75); or  

    1. take up all of your Rights and apply for Additional New Shares as a part of the Oversubscription Facility (i.e. buy the full 3,000 New Shares for $75 and apply for more New Shares at the same price of 2.5 cents per share); or 

    1. sell all or some of your Rights on the NZX Main Board (i.e. don’t buy any New Shares but sell your Right to someone else); or 

    1. take up some of your Rights, and sell all or some of the remaining balance on the NZX Main Board (i.e. buy some New Shares and sell some of your Rights); or 

    1. do nothing with all or some of your Rights. 

  • By participating, you can: 

    - Buy additional shares in Rua Bioscience at a lower price than the current market value. 

    - Increase your overall shareholding in the company. 

    - Avoid dilution of your existing shareholding (your percentage ownership of RUA won’t decrease if you subscribe in full). 

Details

  • See the Section Important Dates in the Offer Document.

    BUT Closing Date of the Offer is Thursday 15 October 2026.

  • If you don’t want to buy more shares, you can sell your rights during the trading period (28 September - 9 October). Alternatively, if you do nothing, your rights will lapse, and you won’t be required to do anything, but your shareholding will likely be diluted

  • Yes, since this is a renounceable offer, your rights can be sold on the stock exchange. You can trade these rights like shares, so if you don’t want to participate, you have the option to sell them to others. 

    You can find these rights on the NZX under the ticker code RUARC. Or find them is Sharesies also.

  • If you sell your rights, the buyer of those rights will have the option to purchase the additional New Shares at the discounted price. You will receive the proceeds from selling your rights. 

  • Payment details will be specified at www.shareoffer.co.nz/rua or through your Sharesies app.

  • In the offer document, Sharesies are called a “Custodian”.   

    If you hold your shares through Sharesies they will notify you directly of the rights you are entitled to. You will need to follow their process to either take up the offer or sell your rights.  They should have sent you details via email.  If you have not received an email from them, contact them through the Sharesies app or help@sharesies.co.nz.

  • Participation in the Rights Offer is not compulsory. However, if you do not participate, your shareholding will be diluted. This means your percentage ownership in Rua Bioscience will decrease as more shares are sold to others. 

  • Yes, you can. You apply on the www.shareoffer.co.nz/rua web page and, if there are shares available you can buy more.
