What it means for a shareholder
75.0m new shares at A$0.010 to raise about A$750,000. That's 6.2% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.2% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (100,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00883% to 0.00828% of the company. To keep it you'd need 6,620 more shares - about A$66 at the issue price.
