One Media said the acquisitions funded by the placing proceeds will focus on a portion of copyrights in performance and writers shares, primarily through the Harmony IP asset release program.

"To have such a heavily oversubscribed fundraising, which also brings a significant number of new high-quality investors onto the register, is extremely pleasing. The level of demand for the placing reflects the confidence existing and incoming investors have in One Media’s Harmony IP model and the ongoing strategy to capitalise on a market benefiting from significant tailwinds”, said One Media chief executive Michael Infante in a statement.

“During the recent months the health and safety of our staff and stakeholders has been of paramount importance. The entire One Media team has been working harder than ever on a remote basis and I would like to thank everyone for their exceptional work throughout. The outlook is certainly exciting and we are looking forward to taking the business to the next level”, he added.
