16 Apr 2025capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Pilot raises $5.0m by placing 500m shares at $0.010 with 1-for-1 $0.033 options. Tranche 1 is 324.4m shares; tranche 2 needs approval at a 4 June meeting. Directors take $455k. Pilot says it is now adequately capitalised, and mentions a non-binding approach from a foreign state-owned company for a Cliff Head CCS stake.
What it means for a shareholder
500m new shares at A$0.010 to raise about A$5.0m. That's 23% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 23% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (100,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00603% to 0.00463% of the company. To keep it you'd need 30,145 more shares - about A$301 at the issue price.
