While the final figures have yet to be calculated, the offer was not oversubscribed when it closed on 14 December.


Nick Noutsatos, CEO of Sam#;s, insisted however that the company hd done well considering the difficulties of launching in the current economic climate, and revealed that more than the A$3m had been raised.
