24 Oct 2018capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

Strike raised $13 million through a placement of 113.04m shares at $0.115, plus a Share Purchase Plan of up to $5 million at the same price. Funds support West Erregulla-2 and Jaws testing. Settlement meets the UIL bid's capital raising condition. Follows the $3m raise in August.

What it means for a shareholder

113m new shares at A$0.115 to raise about A$13.0m. That's 9.1% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 9.1% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (8,696 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000774% to 0.000703% of the company. To keep it you'd need 875 more shares - about A$101 at the issue price.
