BPH Global ASX Announcement | 5 Feb 2026 2
BPH Global Limited (ASX: BP8) (“BP8”, or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has
received firm commitments to raise $1.0 million (before costs) through a strategic placement
of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the “Placement”).
The Placement strengthens the Company’s balance sheet at a key stage in the commercial
development of BP8’s Indonesian seaweed platform and introduces new long-term
shareholders aligned with the Company’s growth strategy.
Placement Details
The Company has received binding commitments for the issue of 500,000,000 new fully paid
ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.002 per share, raising $1.0 million (before costs). The
Placement includes one (1) free attaching option for every two (2) Placement Shares,
exercisable at $0.004 with a three (3) year expiry from the date of issue, subject to shareholder
approval to be sought at a general meeting in April.
The Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to a
placement authority approved by shareholders at the Company’s last AGM, and will rank
equally with existing shares on issue.
The Company expects settlement and allotment of the Placement Shares to occur in
accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
Proceeds from the placement are expected to be applied approximately as follows:
• Indonesian-based seaweed operations: $600.000
• Research and development initiatives: $200,000
• Working capital: $140,000
• Costs of the Offer: $60,000
The Company intends to convene an extraordinary general meeting, currently anticipated in
April 2026, to seek approval for the issue of the Placement Options to investors and options to
brokers who assisted with the Placement.
Operational Readiness and Execution De-Risking
BP8 operates from a fully commissioned warehouse facility in Makassar, Indonesia, and holds
a valid Indonesian Government seaweed export licence, providing the infrastructure and
regulatory approvals required to scale operations immediately.
This operating platform materially reduces execution risk and enables BP8 to respond
efficiently to increasing demand while maintaining logistics reliability, quality control and
counterparty confidence.
Scale-Up and Margin Expansion Strategy
With funding secured, BP8 will prioritise scaling its core trading operations through expanded
procurement, increased export throughout and continued customer engagement, with
growth executed in a disciplined manner and working capital deployment closely aligned to
realised demand and operational capacity.
In parallel, the Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to enhance margins by
increasing the proportion of independently executed sales and selectively progressing
downstream initiatives, supporting a progressive transition toward structurally higher-
margin revenue streams over time.

Outlook
With the Placement completed, BPH Global enters the next phase of 2026 with established
operating infrastructure, secured regulatory approvals and a strengthened balance sheet,
providing a solid foundation to support continued execution and scale-up across its
Indonesian seaweed platform. The Company is now positioned to deploy capital in a measured
manner, aligned with operational capacity and demonstrated market demand.
Looking ahead, BPH Global remains focused on sustaining commercial growth while
maintaining capital discipline as it progresses its broader strategy. Alongside core trading
activities, the Company will continue to advance its longer-term biotechnology and functional
nutrition initiatives in a staged and risk-managed way, preserving optionality and supporting
the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value.
BPH Global Limited, Non-Executive Chairman, Paul Stephenson, commented:
“We are very pleased with the strong demand for this Placement. This strategic investment
follows BP8’s record month 6 trading performance and a strong month 8 trading rebound
and represents an important milestone in the Company’s transition from platform
establishment to scaled commercial execution. The result reflects growing counterparty
demand and provides further validation of the operating model BP8 has built in Indonesia
since commencing trading in May 2025.”
“With fully commissioned infrastructure in place, the required regulatory approvals secured
and a strengthened balance sheet, BP8 is well positioned to increase volumes across its core
trading platform while selectively progressing initiatives aimed at improving margins and
supporting long-term value creation over time.”
