What it means for a shareholder
55.0m new shares at A$0.055 to raise about A$3.0m. That's 9.8% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 9.8% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (18,182 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0036% to 0.00324% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,977 more shares - about A$109 at the issue price.
