11 Aug 2017capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
The capital raising closed at a total of $18,011,858, just under the $18.88M maximum, and all ASX reinstatement conditions are met. Trading resumes 11 August 2017, ending the suspension since October 2015.
Second supplementary prospectus refreshes the quotation period; 650M shares ($13M) and 216.7M options have been issued. Applicants may withdraw by 15 June 2017. Administrative step to keep the issue valid while reinstatement is pending.
Rights issue closed 27 March with only about $304K from shareholders, leaving a $12.7M shortfall against the $13M underwritten amount. Offers remain conditional on the Trinity acquisition and ASX conditional approval for re-quotation.
Clarifies the $13.34M banked: only about $238K came from shareholders, while $13.1M came from CPS Capital's sub-underwriters. So the minimum was reached mainly through underwriting, not shareholder take-up.
CPS Capital underwrites $13M of the rights issue; $13.175M banked so far, above the $12M minimum. Offer closes 27 March; first Presidio well is planned for early April. Reinstatement now expected around 24 April 2017.
Rights issue closing date extended again, now to 27 March 2017 (from 22 March). Terms unchanged: 8 shares per 1 held at 2c, up to $18.88M, with a free 2c option per 3 shares.
17 Mar 2017capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Supplementary prospectus: CPS Capital partially underwrites the rights issue for $13M (650M shares) for a $780K fee. Vendor agreements also varied on board composition and the date of the first Presidio well.
Closing date of the rights issue extended to 22 March 2017. Terms unchanged: 8 shares per 1 held at 2c, up to $18.88M. This pushes back the earlier 9 March close and the expected reinstatement timetable (inference).
Announces the entitlement issue prospectus (8 shares per 1 held at 2c, up to $18.88M) has been posted to shareholders. Administrative notice, no new terms.
16 Feb 2017capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Re-compliance prospectus: 8 new shares per share held at 2c to raise up to $18.88M, with a free option per three shares (2c, expiring December 2021). Company to be renamed Helios Energy (code HE8). Reinstatement expected 3 April 2017.
The entitlement offer completed: 118,000,000 shares issued at 1 cent, raising $1.18M before costs. This doubles the share count. Funds go to working capital, the strategic review and new opportunities, including outside mining.
What it means for a shareholder
118m new shares at A$0.010 to raise about A$1.2m. That's 94% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 94% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (100,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 1.3% to 0.0794% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,475,000 more shares - about A$14,750 at the issue price.
Shareholders took up only 28,283,152 shares ($282,831.52) of the offer. The rest is a shortfall passed to underwriter CPS Capital, so the full $1.18M is still expected to be raised.
Prospectus lodged for the 1-for-1 entitlement offer at 1 cent to raise up to $1.18M, fully underwritten by CPS Capital. Closing date is 29 August 2014. This formalises the offer announced on 2 July; shares are described as highly speculative.
The company starts a strategic review of Kinney, including a possible sale of part or all of it, and will consider new projects in any sector. Tony Brennan becomes Chairman. A 1-for-1 entitlement offer at 1 cent raises $1.18M, underwritten by CPS Capital. A director loan of up to A$100,000 funds operations.
The second tranche completed on 26 April 2013: 7,125,000 shares at 8 cents raised $570,000 from directors and associates, with 1.5M listed options at 20 cents and 1.5M unlisted options at 30 cents. 5M options at 50 cents were also cancelled.
What it means for a shareholder
7.1m new shares at A$0.080 to raise about A$570,000. That's 47% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 47% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (12,500 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.156% to 0.0826% of the company. To keep it you'd need 11,133 more shares - about A$891 at the issue price.
Dilution disclosure for the February placement: 19.22% total dilution to existing holders. Delta Capital managed the raise for a 1% management fee plus 5% of funds raised. Administrative follow-up to the 8 cent placement.
