The fractional investment platform provider’s DomaCom Equity Mortgage product is also ready for an August 2021 launch.
In its June quarterly report, the company said its funds under management (FUM) grew by 10% to $84.4 million from the March 2021 quarter.
Its cash position of $353,000 as at end of June will be further boosted by its proposed $1.998 million private placement.

New financial year
DomaCom chief executive officer Arthur Naoumidis said: “The June quarter has been a very challenging quarter for the company and I am pleased to be able to start the new financial year in a much better position than we faced in May and June.
“I look forward to updating our shareholders on the outcome of the AustAgri transaction during these next few weeks.”
AustAgri Transaction update by end July
The company expects to update investors on the outcome of its sub-fund to acquire AustAgri Group.
DomaCom will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to re-approve the AustAgri Transaction.
This is because although it was previously approved in the EGM on 21 October 2020, the delay in completing the transaction, has resulted in DomaCom now requiring to seek reapproval.
DomaCom has amended the AustAgri revenue recognition agreement to as follows:
- AustAgri shareholder approval now requires that at least 75% of AustAgri shareholders agree to their shares being exchanged for units in the new DomaCom sub-fund; and
- A termination clause has been included to allow for an $8.5 million termination fee payable to DomaCom if AustAgri does not migrate to the DomaCom Fund after the settlement of the acquisition of Cedar Meats.
The commercial terms of the revenue recognition agreement otherwise remain unchanged.
