The deal involves an institutional placement of $35 million and a founder and management placement of $70 million with proceeds going towards, in part, three near-term acquisition opportunities in the construction materials sector. MGH will also offer a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan to eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders to raise up to $10 million. MA Moelis Australia Advisory and Morgans Corporate were Joint Lead Managers to the institutional placement.

The Maddocks team was led by Capital Markets Partner Catherine Merity and Special Counsel Rosamond Sayer.

This matter is the latest in which Maddocks has assisted MGH, with the firm also advising on MGH’s recent acquisition of rail maintenance, civil construction and plant hire business Schwarz Excavations last month, led by Partner Jessica Reid and Special Counsel Elizabeth Lilley.

Maddocks also advised MGH last year on its acquisition of construction business David Payne Constructions, as well as its purchase of Maas Construction Group including its building, commercial plumbing and demolition interests, in Western New South Wales.

Commenting on the latest equity raising matter for Maas Group, Catherine Merity said: "We were pleased to once again assist Maas Group with its institutional placement that will provide enough flexibility and scope to complete its future potential acquisitions and deliver on its growth strategy."
