Shareholders approved a return of capital of 2 cents per share, funded from existing cash. It was payable on 13 May 2025 to holders on the 6 May record date, and the company has applied to the ATO for a ruling on its tax treatment.
Retail entitlement offer completed, but shareholders took up only $500,043; the roughly $995,515 shortfall goes to sub-underwriters. The full raising (about $2.6M at $0.12) is therefore still met, though through the underwriting rather than shareholder demand (inference).
Retail offer booklet for the 1-for-4, $0.12 entitlement offer was sent to eligible shareholders. The offer closes 16 March 2021. Administrative notice only.
The institutional part of the $0.12 entitlement offer completed, raising $1,095,343 from 9,127,866 new shares. The retail part, about $1.5M, remains to come, taking the total to about $2.6M. Continues the raising to repay the loan.

Fitzroy launched a 1-for-4 entitlement offer at $0.12 per share to raise about $2.6M, with the retail part underwritten by Taylor Collison. Proceeds are to repay the $2.5M loan due November 2021. Shares would rise from 86.4M to about 108.0M, diluting non-participants.

Fitzroy announced an on-market buy-back of up to 9.07M shares (just under 10%), about $3.4M at 38 cents, from 30 May 2014 to 30 May 2015. It says it has more capital (about $12.0M cash) than it can invest in royalty deals in the next 12 months.
15,131,446 new shares were issued at $0.25, completing the rights issue and lifting shares on issue to 90,788,294. JP Morgan Nominees holds 22.88%; Susan Thomas's entity holds 10.91%.
What it means for a shareholder
15.1m new shares at A$0.250 to raise about A$3.8m. That's 14% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 14% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00441% to 0.00378% of the company. To keep it you'd need 667 more shares - about A$167 at the issue price.

Offer booklets were sent to eligible shareholders. Only 21 of 1,137 registered holders were ineligible. Shares issuable after rounding are 15,131,446. Administrative step in the $3.8M offer.
