Arvida Group Limited (NZX: ARV) (Arvida) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the shortfall bookbuild component of its $175 million fully underwritten 1 for 6.57 pro rata renounceable rights offer (Rights Offer).

The clearing price under the shortfall bookbuild was $1.96 per new share, a premium of $0.11 per new share over the application price of $1.85 under the Rights Offer.
