Acrow Ltd Locks in Full Underwriting for $10M Share Purchase Plan
Acrow locks in full underwriting for its $10 million Share Purchase Plan
Acrow Limited (ASX: ACF) has confirmed that its $10 million Share Purchase Plan (SPP), announced on 18 June 2026, will be fully underwritten.
The underwriting role has been taken up by Morgans Corporate Limited and Shaw and Partners Limited, acting as joint lead managers and underwriters. These are the same parties that underwrote the $70.0 million two-tranche Placement announced on 18 June 2026.
Full underwriting de-risks the raise. By committing the underwriters to the offer, the Acrow ASX ACF capital raise provides the company with assurance over the funds regardless of the level of shareholder take-up.
The announcement does not disclose the SPP issue price, nor does it detail how the proceeds will be applied.

What the underwriting means and who can participate
The SPP is open to existing eligible shareholders, defined as those with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and recorded on the company’s share register as at 7:00pm (AEST) on 17 June 2026 (the Record Date).
The terms and conditions will be set out in an offer booklet and application form, which will be made available to eligible shareholders and lodged with the ASX on or around 29 June 2026.
Any shortfall under the underwritten amount of the SPP remains subject to shareholder approval. This approval will be sought at the company’s upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), presently anticipated to be held on or around Tuesday, 28 July 2026.

What a Share Purchase Plan and underwriting actually mean
A Share Purchase Plan allows existing eligible shareholders to buy additional shares in a company, often without paying brokerage. It is a mechanism commonly used to give retail investors the opportunity to participate in a capital raise alongside institutions.
A “fully underwritten” raise means the underwriters commit to taking up any shares not subscribed for by shareholders. This guarantees the company receives the full targeted amount, providing certainty of funds even if shareholder demand falls short.
For investors, this distinction matters. The SPP is the retail component of Acrow’s broader programme, sitting alongside the $70.0 million Placement, which targets institutional investors.
The SPP sits alongside the $70.0 million two-tranche institutional placement, the proceeds of which are directed toward the dual acquisition of AGIS and Preston SuperDeck for a combined $54.5 million, with $19.5 million earmarked for debt reduction.

The bigger picture for Acrow shareholders
Acrow is a provider of smart integrated construction systems across formwork, industrial access and commercial scaffolding in Australia. The company has over 80 years of experience, having grown from a small local business to a national operator in the construction industry.
Its portfolio also includes falsework and shoring, screen solutions, Jacking Systems (also known as Jumpform), and internal engineering capabilities.
Operationally, Acrow operates across 15 locations with over 60,000 tonnes of equipment. The company has stated it aims to expand its presence in Australia’s civil infrastructure market.
Acrow’s FY26 revenue and EBITDA guidance of $315-325 million and $80-84 million respectively was confirmed in April 2026 following record March contract wins of $14.3 million, with the hire revenue pipeline reaching $256 million at that point, up 34% on the prior corresponding period.
The combined Placement and SPP point to a capital-backed growth posture. However, the announcement does not detail how the proceeds will be applied, so the company’s operational scale should be read as context rather than confirmation of any specific deployment.
Board Approval
The release was approved by the Acrow Board of Directors.
For further information, the company nominated Managing Director Steven Boland and Chief Financial Officer Andrew Crowther as contacts.
For shareholders, attention now turns to the indicative timeline. The SPP is scheduled to close on 16 July 2026, with the EGM anticipated on or around 28 July 2026 and the issue of Tranche 2 and shortfall shares indicatively set for 4 August 2026.
