Innovation Beverage Group, an Australian distiller with a portfolio of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage brands, increased the share offering for its upcoming IPO on Thursday.

The Seven Hills, Australia-based company now plans to raise $11 million by offering 2.1 million shares at a price range of $4 to $6. The company had previously filed to offer 1.7 million shares at the same range. At the revised share count, Innovation Beverage Group will raise 25% more in proceeds than previously anticipated.

If the company prices at a market cap of less than $50 million, Innovation Beverage Group will be excluded from Renaissance Capital's IPO stats.
