5 Dec 2012capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
The share purchase plan drew applications for 18.6 million shares, raising $4.1m at $0.22, on top of the $10m placement. Shares on issue will be about 533.4 million after allotment on 7 December 2012.
What it means for a shareholder
18.6m new shares at about A$0.2204 to raise about A$4.1m. That's 3.8% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.8% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (4,537 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000967% to 0.00093% of the company. To keep it you'd need 180 more shares - about A$40 at the issue price.
