Raise capital, and leave with a market
Companies come to the primary market for capital. What makes this worth the disclosure is what you keep afterwards: a register of verified holders on the ContiSX CSD, a listed instrument with a real price, and a rebate mechanism that rewards early subscribers without discounting your shares.
What you need ready before you apply
Almost every delayed raise is delayed here rather than in the offer itself. Having these settled in advance is the single biggest determinant of your timeline.
Corporate housekeeping
A clean cap table, up-to-date statutory filings, and a share structure that can actually accept new holders. Most delays start here rather than in the offer itself.
Audited financials
Audited accounts for the most recent financial year, plus interim figures where the board requires them. These go into the offer document verbatim.
Use of proceeds
A specific allocation of what the money does — build, working capital, refinancing, offer expenses. Vague plans are the most common reason a book underfills.
Diligence pack
Legal, financial, and where relevant technical diligence. Independent reports attach to the offer document so subscribers assess the same evidence you do.
Rebate design
The DVU rebate rate you will pay subscribers, set before the book opens. It is a disclosed term, not a discretionary sweetener applied later.
Lock-up position
How long allottees are restricted after admission. Longer lock-ups steady the instrument early; shorter ones widen demand. State it and hold to it.
What the raise leaves behind
The capital is the obvious part. These are the things that are harder to buy separately.
A register of verified holders
Maintained by the ContiSX CSD rather than a spreadsheet. Every holder is KYC-verified, and corporate actions are serviced centrally from the register.
A listed instrument
Admission to the secondary market gives your equity an observable, order-book price instead of a stale last-round mark.
A reason to subscribe early
The DVU rebate rewards early subscribers without discounting your share price — you keep your valuation and still give the book a reason to fill.
Settlement you don't operate
Allotment, delivery-versus-payment, register updates, and rebate crediting all run on ContiSX infrastructure end to end.
Cross-border reach
Diaspora and international subscribers participate through the same verified, KYC-gated process as domestic holders.
Proceeds at settlement
Capital is released as the equity is created — not held in escrow pending a manual reconciliation afterwards.
Reward early subscribers without discounting your shares
The DVU rebate is the lever most issuers underuse. Understanding what it does — and what it costs you — is worth a few minutes.
- You set the rate and publish it in the offer document before the book opens.
- It is credited to allottees at settlement, in proportion to what they subscribed.
- Because DVU is a reward unit and not equity, it does not dilute your shareholders.
- You keep your share price and the valuation implied by it — no discount to fill the book.
- The reward is transferable and listed on a partner digital exchange, so it retains usefulness to the holder after the raise.
What you carry afterwards
Listing is a continuing commitment, not a filing. These obligations scale with the board you joined.
- Periodic reporting at the cadence your listing board requires
- Prompt disclosure of material developments affecting the instrument's value
- Corporate actions — dividends, rights, meetings — serviced through the depository
- Maintaining the register accurately as holdings transfer after lock-up
- Honouring the use of proceeds you published, or disclosing any departure from it
Issuer questions, answered
Companies that can satisfy the admission criteria and produce audited accounts, a credible use of proceeds, and a diligence pack that stands up to publication.
The instrument is the same kind of thing — registered equity in your company, held on the ContiSX CSD. What differs is the rail and the reward: allotment settles through atomic delivery-versus-payment, the register is maintained digitally from the first allotment, and subscribers receive a rebate in Digital Value Unit alongside their shares. Admission criteria remain proportionate to the board rather than waived.
You set the rate, and you disclose it in the offer document before the book opens. Its value to you is that it rewards early subscribers without cutting your share price — you preserve your valuation and the cap table implied by it, while still giving the book a reason to fill. Because DVU is a reward unit rather than equity, it does not dilute your shareholders.
No. Price, size, rebate rate, lock-up, and allotment policy are fixed in the offer document. If something material changes, the offer is withdrawn and re-published rather than amended mid-window. That constraint is what makes the published terms worth anything to subscribers.
That depends on the terms you set. If you make the raise conditional on a minimum and it is not met, subscriptions are returned. If there is no minimum, you take what the book delivered. State the condition clearly — it is one of the first things sophisticated subscribers look for.
The subscription window itself is a published period, but the work before it — housekeeping, diligence, structuring, and CSD registration — is what determines your timeline. Companies with clean filings, current audited accounts, and a settled cap table move considerably faster than those resolving those things during the process.
Periodic reporting at your board's cadence, prompt disclosure of material developments, corporate actions serviced through the depository, and honouring the use of proceeds you published or disclosing any departure from it. These are continuing obligations, not a one-off filing.
Fees attaching to a raise — including offer expenses borne from proceeds — are disclosed in that offering's terms. Structure and quantum depend on the board, the size of the raise, and the diligence required, so they are set during structuring rather than quoted generically.
