Morning Star Ltd was registered on 1 July 2018, as a company with a constitution limiting the shares that could be offered to 7 000 000 Ordinary shares (including all classes) and 2 000 000 preference shares. The company issued a prospectus dated 1 July 2018 inviting the public to apply for 4 000 000 Ordinary A class shares at $3.00 per share. The terms of the shares on issue are $1.50 on application, $1.00 on allotment and $0.50 to be called within six months of allotment before 31 December 2018.

If the issue is oversubscribed the directors will make a pro-rata issue of shares and the excess application money will be applied to allotment and calls before any refunds will be given.

On 15 July, the directors also decided to issue 1 000 000 non-voting Ordinary B shares as fully paid to the promoters for a payment of $2.00 per share.

On 30 July applications closed. Applications for 5 000 000 shares in total had been received with applicants for 3 500 000 shares paying the full price and 1 500 000 shares paying only the application fee.

On 1 August, the shares were allotted with all allotment money owed paid by the 30 August.

The company paid share issue costs of $100,000 for the issuing of Ordinary A shares on 1 September. The share issue costs related to legal expenses associated with the share issue and fees associated with the drafting and advertising of the prospectus and share issue.

The call on the Ordinary A shares was made on 15 Septmber and due by 30 September. All call money was received except for the call on 75 000 shares. The directors met and forfeited the shares on 15 October. On 30 October the forfeited shares were reissued at $2.80 fully paid to $3.00. Costs associated with reissuing the forfeited shares totalled $5,000. The remaining money was refunded to the defaulting shareholders on 15 November.

The directors decided on 1 November to make a one-day offer of a non-renouceable rights issue to existing Ordinary A shareholders to purchase additional shares at $1 each for every 5 shares of holding. Holders of 2 000 000 shares exercised their right.

On 1 January 2019, Morning Star Ltd issued via a private placement semi-annual coupon debentures (which pay interest every 6 months) with a nominal value of $300,000.
