Beach's institutional entitlement offer raised about $201m of the $301m, with roughly 98% take-up including Seven Group. The $100m retail offer at $0.75 a share (3 for 14) opens 5 October and closes 16 October.

Beach completes the retail entitlement offer, raising A$78.7m at A$1.40. Retail holders took only about A$10.5m; underwriters take the remaining ~48.7m shares. Total raising is A$345.3m. Shares are allotted 3 May and trade 4 May.

What it means for a shareholder

48.7m new shares at about A$1.62 to raise about A$78.7m. That's 3.7% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.7% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (619 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0000493% to 0.0000474% of the company. To keep it you'd need 24 more shares - about A$39 at the issue price.

Adelaide Energy shareholders rejected the option grant to Beach, so Beach instead took 59.5m ADE shares at $0.165 (about A$9.8m). This lifts Beach's stake to about 19.95%. ADE is Beach's 10% partner in PEL 218.

Beach commits $12.1m to Adelaide Energy: 14m shares at 16.5c now, then a further 59.5m shares and 75m options (40c strike, to 2016) if shareholders approve. This would give Beach 19.95%, deepening ties in the Nappamerri Trough shale gas play.
