HyTerra Secures Initial A$1.95 Million Through Shortfall Offer to Advance Kansas Natural Hydrogen Program

HyTerra has announced that it has secured approximately A$1.95 million in commitments through the initial allocation of its Shortfall Offer, providing additional funding as the company prepares for its next phase of natural hydrogen exploration in Kansas. The Shortfall Offer remains open until 13 August 2026, allowing the company to continue accepting applications and allocating any remaining shares during that period. 

The initial placement comprises approximately 139 million new ordinary shares issued at A$0.014 per share, matching the price offered under HyTerra's recently completed entitlement offer. The allocation was made to sophisticated and professional investors, with settlement expected on 2 July and allotment on 3 July 2026. GBA Capital has been appointed as Lead Manager for the Shortfall Offer. 

According to the company, the additional capital will strengthen working capital while supporting execution of HyTerra's broader strategic plan. A key near-term milestone remains the production flow testing program, which is confirmed to begin during the week commencing 13 July 2026. Preparations for the program continue in line with previously announced schedules. 

The funding is also expected to support preparatory work for HyTerra's planned drilling campaign, ongoing growth initiatives, and general corporate activities. The company noted that the ultimate scope and timing of future drilling will depend on the total amount raised through the Shortfall Offer, contractor availability, operational requirements, and its broader funding strategy. 

The announcement represents another operational step as HyTerra continues advancing its natural hydrogen exploration activities in Kansas, with production flow testing expected to provide important data ahead of subsequent drilling decisions later this year.
