The issue of these shares and options, were made at a premium to the market price for the week ending the 13th October, and reflects the strong market support for Cadmus and its ongoing growth strategy.

Keith Phillips, Chairman of Cadmus Technology Limited, says, “The company has already advised the market that it intends to continue on a growth strategy that includes acquisition and or amalgamation of similar and compatible entities, where these can add shareholder value and allow the company to reach critical mass in terms of its product development and distribution strategy. The capital raised in the Cadmus placement as well as the options will be used to boost the Company’s ability to take advantage of opportunities as they arise such as strategic acquisitions and joint ventures in both New Zealand and in our key international markets,”
