COMMENTS FROM GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO
Parkway’s Group Managing Director & CEO, Bahay Ozcakmak, makes the following comments:
“
“Despite challenging equity markets, particularly for junior companies, we are encouraged with
the level of support we have received for this capital raising, from both existing shareholders
as well as new investors. We are particularly pleased a US based strategic investor has agreed
to increase its interest in Parkway, by providing cornerstone support for the capital raising.
As we announce this successful capital raising, it is appropriate to reflect on our
transformational journey since January 2021, the period we last raised capital. At the time, the
company was very much in its infancy and did not have any operating business, plant &
equipment, inventory or any form of revenue generation. We have subsequently built a focused
team, established a growing operating business (PPS) with tier-1 clients and continued to make
significant progress towards the commercialisation of our proprietary process technologies.
In relation to technology commercialisation, earlier this year we announced the completion of
a landmark feasibility study for a leading global energy company, based on our proprietary brine
processing technologies. Whilst these evaluations remain ongoing, encouraged by our ongoing
achievements, including various technology breakthroughs, shortly after completing the
feasibility study, we expanded our target market for our coal seam gas (CSG) brine processing
technologies to the entire CSG industry in Queensland, through our Master Plan.
More recently, we announced we were also pursuing smaller upstream prospects as part of our
Master Plan related objectives. These upstream prospects not only provide near-term
opportunities for our brine processing technologies but are also of a scale which Parkway could
reasonably execute and own, potentially enabling us to create and capture significant value.
We believe this specialised application of our key process technologies, provides Parkway with
an opportunity to systematically build a significant operating business in Queensland.
The proceeds from the capital raising announced today, will enable us to continue to
significantly expand our internal capabilities, including in relation to the modularisation,
fabrication and integration of our key process technologies. Building these internal capabilities
is a crucial step in the commercialisation journey and will also provide us with a platform for
deploying our technologies in other high value applications, particularly in the resources sector.
As we continue to build our project execution capabilities, we are concurrently evaluating
potential applications for our process technologies with several global mining companies, which
represent significant opportunities, we expect to be able capture, over time, through our
modular systems.
Following the completion of this capital raising, we will have the resources to continue to grow
our business and make the necessary investments, required to bring our process technologies
to market, and thereby solve large scale and complex industrial wastewater challenges.
Finally, on behalf of Parkway, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our existing shareholders
for their ongoing support, as well as welcome incoming shareholders to the Parkway journey.”
The release of this announcement has been approved by Parkway’s Group Managing Director & CEO,
Bahay Ozcakmak, on behalf of the board of directors of the Company.
