9 May 2019capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Completed a $204,134 placement of 34.0m shares at 0.6c to sophisticated investors introduced by the board. Funds are for new opportunities, DMIRS obligations and working capital. Shares on issue rise to 822.1m, after cash had fallen to about $64,000.

What it means for a shareholder

34.0m new shares at A$0.006 to raise about A$204,134. That's 4.5% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 4.5% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (166,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0233% to 0.0222% of the company. To keep it you'd need 7,910 more shares - about A$47 at the issue price.
