17 Mar 2025capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

29 Mar 2022capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

The A$70m placement was successful: 234,806,987 new shares at A$0.30, settling 4 April and allotted 5 April, with trading resuming. Proceeds are for Dorado FID in 2022 and testing nearby tie-in targets including Apus-1.

What it means for a shareholder

235m new shares at A$0.300 to raise about A$70.0m. That's 13% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 13% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (3,333 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000213% to 0.000185% of the company. To keep it you'd need 500 more shares - about A$150 at the issue price.
