Elanor’s Recapitalisation Faces Delay Amid Regulatory and Shareholder Approvals
Elanor Investors Group has extended deadlines for a $125 million investment from Rockworth Capital Partners and the acquisition of Firmus, with a key shareholder meeting now scheduled for late January 2026.
- Rockworth commits $125 million to recapitalise Elanor
- Elanor to acquire Firmus business pending approvals
- Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) rescheduled to January 2026
- Extension of covenant milestones with secured lender Keyview
- HY25 and FY25 financial results due before EGM
Strategic Alliance Deepens with Rockworth
Elanor Investors Group has announced an extension to the timeline surrounding its strategic alliance with Rockworth Capital Partners. Rockworth is set to inject $125 million into Elanor, a move designed to recapitalise the group and stabilise its balance sheet. This capital boost is paired with Elanor’s planned acquisition of the Firmus business, a transaction that remains subject to regulatory and securityholder approvals.
Delays Reflect Ongoing Financial Reporting and Approvals
The company has agreed with Rockworth to extend the sunset date for the transaction’s completion to 31 March 2026, pushing back the dispatch of the Notice of Meeting to December 2025. Consequently, the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) where securityholders will vote on the investment and acquisition is now expected in late January 2026. These adjustments follow Elanor’s recent FY24 Annual General Meeting and ongoing preparations for the HY25 and audited FY25 financial results.
Support from Lenders and Noteholders
Elanor continues to maintain constructive dialogue with its secured lender, Keyview, which remains supportive of the group’s deleveraging and stabilisation efforts. Keyview has agreed to extend certain covenant milestones under its facility agreement to facilitate the Rockworth transaction. Additionally, noteholders of Elanor’s $40 million Corporate Notes have approved a special resolution to waive certain covenants, further smoothing the path to recapitalisation.
Looking Ahead to Financial Results and Suspension Lift
The group is preparing to release its HY25 results and Appendix 4D by the end of November 2025, with the full FY25 results and Annual Report expected shortly thereafter. Following the finalisation of these financial disclosures and successful approvals at the EGM, Elanor plans to engage with the ASX to lift the suspension of its securities, a critical step for restoring market confidence and liquidity.
A Pivotal Moment for Elanor
This recapitalisation and acquisition represent a significant turning point for Elanor, aiming to strengthen its financial footing and expand its asset base. However, the extended timeline underscores the complexities involved in securing regulatory and shareholder approvals, as well as the importance of transparent financial reporting to reassure investors.
Bottom Line?
Elanor’s recapitalisation journey continues, with January’s EGM set to be a decisive moment for its future direction.
Questions in the middle?
- Will Elanor secure all necessary regulatory approvals for the Rockworth investment and Firmus acquisition?
- How will the Firmus acquisition impact Elanor’s portfolio and earnings profile once completed?
- What are the implications if the EGM does not approve the proposed transactions?
