The admission, itself, is expected to occur on or around August 2.

Green & Smart said it will use the financing to to advance the development of its third biogas power plant in Malaysia and for working capital requirements. "This fundraising has put us on a secure financial footing that will enable us to advance the development of our pipeline of fully-owned biogas power plants," said Saravanan Rasaratnam, Green & Smart’s CEO.
