    The pre-IPO raising demonstrates investor confidence in PAR’s strategy while solidifying the company’s balance sheet ahead of its ASX listing next year.PAR launched the raise last Tuesday (7 December) targeting $2.5 million but was oversubscribed by $2 million that afternoon and $3.5 million by Thursday (9 December). PAR’s leadership team includes Brad Lingo, Benjamin Anthony and Brian Kitney.PAR will use $3 million of that as it moves towards its IPO while progressing its hydrogen production and export plans, as well as attracting industry leading participants including Peter Coleman-chaired Infinite Blue Energy.

    Benjamin Anthony, Managing Director of Port Anthony Renewables:  “We are very pleased with the outcome, though not a bit surprised given the significant attributes of our unique position. These funds will support PAR’s planned ASX-listing slated for the second quarter of 2022, while pushing ahead the development of our hydrogen precinct. It also means an acceleration of our trajectory towards the manufacture of domestic hydrogen and staying ahead of the curve in terms of access to global export markets. We are very well positioned for growth given PAR is the most strategically located Port on the east coast of Australia for renewable energy supply.”
