9 Aug 2012capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
The institutional offer raised A$3.8m and, on strong demand, a A$2.5m placement was added, both at A$0.10. Wilson HTM underwrites the first A$1.8m of the retail offer, so at least A$8.1m is now assured, up from the A$7.7m target.
ASX circular repeating the 7 August entitlement offer: 1-for-4 at A$0.10 to raise about A$7.7m (A$4.2m institutional, A$3.5m retail), not underwritten. Record date 10 August; retail closes 29 August. Timetable notice, no new terms.
7 Aug 2012capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Comet Ridge launched a 1-for-4 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer at A$0.10 per share to raise up to A$7.7m, a 20% discount to the last price of A$0.125. It funds 2012/13 exploration and working capital; about 77.1m new shares, roughly 25% dilution for those not taking up.
What it means for a shareholder
77.1m new shares at about A$0.0999 to raise about A$7.7m. That's 20% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 20% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (10,013 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00325% to 0.0026% of the company. To keep it you'd need 2,505 more shares - about A$250 at the issue price.
22 June 2009capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
The entitlement offer closed with about 70% take-up (about A$9.55 million); 15.87 million shortfall shares go to underwriter Wilson HTM, so the full A$13.8 million is still raised. With the A$7.5 million placement, this funds 12-18 months of work.
Confirms the offer booklet and entitlement forms for the 1-for-5 offer at A$0.27 have been posted to eligible holders. Administrative only, no new terms.
Administrative notice that 22 million placement shares at A$0.34 were issued on 22 May 2009, completing the A$7.5 million placement announced 18 May. No new information.

What it means for a shareholder
22.0m new shares at A$0.340 to raise about A$7.5m. That's 7.9% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 7.9% smaller.
