Announcements, explained

Each one in plain English, with the numbers worked through for a shareholder.

10 May 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Retail entitlement offer raised only about $0.7m (181m shares at $0.004). Total existing-holder take-up was about $3.6m, roughly 39%. A shortfall of about 1.4bn shares ($5.7m) falls to underwriters and sub-underwriters, including director-linked entities. Offer was fully underwritten by Wilsons.

What it means for a shareholder

181m new shares at A$0.004 to raise about A$700,000. That's 4.6% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 4.6% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (250,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00664% to 0.00634% of the company. To keep it you'd need 12,026 more shares - about A$48 at the issue price.
