Cybersecurity firm Senetas Corporation (SEN) made a $5 million placement to spur investment in its subsidiary, secure gateway company Votiro Cybersec Global.

Senetas CEO Andrew Wilson spoke to Melbourne’s Deal Room.

“Senetas’ continued support of Votiro, combined with Senetas’ requirement to maintain higher inventory levels in the near term due to industry-wide semiconductor shortages, has reduced reserves by excess cash from Senetas,” he said.

“However, following the completion of the placement, Senetas is now well positioned to continue to support the growth of the Senetas and Votiro businesses.

“As the global shortage of electronic components continues to delay some customer sales, we are pleased to see the growth of Senetas’ sales pipeline continue, with continued growth in the North American market particularly encouraging.”

The company has a market capitalization of $40 million and the share price fell following the rise, trading at 3.5 cents as of 2:33 p.m. AEST.
