Enprise Group raises $1.4m, takes iSell stake


AUCKLAND, 20 December, 2017 - Enprise Group (NZAX: ENS) has raised $1.4

million in new equity and paid AUD $673,420 for a 14.6% holding in cloud

quoting company iSell.


In November 2017 Enprise Group announced a capital raise in the form of a

rights issue. Its purpose was to repay debt incurred for the acquisition of 47% of

Kilimanjaro Consulting Pty Limited and provide for future growth. The 1 for 10

non-renounceable rights issue at $1.39 closed fully subscribed on 30 November

with 852,664 new shares issued raising $1,185,203 in new equity.


Also in November 2017, a staff share scheme offered Enprise staff private

placements of new shares at $1.39. This closed on 8 December with 165,753

new shares issued, raising NZD $233,133 in further new equity.


In total Enprise Group raised $1,415,600 and has 9,545,062 shares on issue.


On 19 December Enprise Group paid AUD $673,420 for a 14.6% holding in

iSell, a cloud-based quoting system used by the IT reseller market in Australia,

New Zealand and the U.K. The IT reseller market uses iSell to generate

customer quotes for over 4.5 million products from more than 2000 vendors.


On 30 November 2017 Enprise Group paid NZD $223,737 for a 6.49% holding

in Vadacom, a cloud based VOIP phone and virtual PABX provider.


Enprise Group is now invested in five businesses – the wholly owned Enprise

Solutions, joint ventures Datagate Innovation and Kilimanjaro Consulting, and

holdings in iSell and Vadacom.


Enprise Group CEO Elliot Cooper says Enprise Group is growing its identity as

an investment vehicle for high-growth tech companies that complement its core

ERP capability.


“Our strategy for these investments is to unlock mutual synergies to accelerate

growth for all,” he says.


“Vadacom and Enprise Solutions share a significant number of customers and

have a similar target market. Datagate and iSell both target the same Managed

Service Provider market and can link their sales and marketing functions to give

each other sales introductions. Our Kilimanjaro acquisition better utilises the

cloud skills and infrastructure resources already deployed by Enprise. These

interlocking characteristics are a hallmark of Enprise Group’s wider growth

strategy.”
