Australian cyber security company archTIS Limited has secured firm commitments to raise $7.5 million through a heavily supported share placement to both new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors, including key company executives.
The capital raise will support archTIS’ strategic expansion into the United States, strengthen international partnerships and accelerate the development of its secure data-sharing products particularly for defence and other tightly regulated sectors.
Under the placement, 50 million new shares will be issued at $0.15 per share, representing a 17.4 per cent discount to the 7-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) and a 15.5 per cent discount to the 14-day VWAP.
The company will utilise its existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, with settlement expected on or around Monday, 7 July 2025.
In a statement, archTIS managing director and CEO Daniel Lai said the raise was a pivotal step in the company’s long-term growth strategy: “This capital raise marks a pivotal step forward in executing our strategic international expansion and revenue growth plans. The funds raised will enable us to scale our US operations, strengthen our existing strategic partnerships and accelerate product development and innovation to meet the evolving, stringent security needs of enterprise and government clients – especially in highly sensitive and regulated markets such as defence.”
“Importantly, this capital raise is aimed at driving sustained revenue growth by strengthening our go-to-market capabilities. It will allow us to expand our delivery capacity, enhance onboarding and support infrastructure, and provide new distribution opportunities in international markets,” Lai added.
“By implementing scalable models with next-gen technology, we are positioning archTIS to capitalise on the growing demand for secure data-centric sharing platforms. We are deeply grateful to our investors for their continued support and confidence in archTIS as we pursue our vision to be a global leader in data-centric security.”
The capital raised will be deployed across three strategic focus areas:
- US expansion and client support – $3 million.
- Scaling internal delivery and post-sales teams in the US.
- Automating client onboarding and implementing customer health analytics.
- Expanding technical support infrastructure.
- Strategic partnerships – $1.5 million.
- Deepening existing alliances and developing new strategic partnerships.
- Hiring partnership support staff.
- Co-marketing and sales enablement initiatives.
- Product development – $3 million.
- Enhancing enterprise usability and expanding platform capabilities.
- Advancing research and development in data analytics, AI-driven insights and automation.
- Strengthening security features and ensuring compliance with defence and other regulatory frameworks.
The placement was jointly led by Henslow Pty Ltd and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited. archTIS Limited is a global provider of secure, data-centric software solutions that enable the controlled sharing and collaboration of sensitive, classified and protected information.
