The rights issue closed 20 December, raising $955,224. Shareholders took up only $83,542 and the shortfall offer $72,664, so Huizhou underwrote $799,018, about 84%. 238.8m shares are to be issued on 29 December. Funds are for working capital and reviewing opportunities.
What it means for a shareholder
239m new shares at about A$0.004 to raise about A$955,224. That's 25% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 25% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (249,994 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0349% to 0.0262% of the company. To keep it you'd need 83,329 more shares - about A$333 at the issue price.
