24 Apr 2020capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

The retail offer raises A$6.0m from 1,000m shares at A$0.006: only A$1.78m from applications, with about A$4.2m taken up by underwriter Euroz and sub-underwriters. Total raised is about A$13.8m, below the A$17.5m targeted, with allotment on 28 April.

What it means for a shareholder

1.00bn new shares at A$0.006 to raise about A$6.0m. That's 21% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 21% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (166,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00443% to 0.0035% of the company. To keep it you'd need 44,260 more shares - about A$266 at the issue price.
