Cleansing prospectus offering up to 10,000 shares at A$0.001 (raising up to A$10), issued only to remove trading restrictions on shares from the December placement. No new funds of substance.

What it means for a shareholder

10,000 new shares at A$0.001 to raise about A$10. That's 0.00116% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 0.00116% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (1,000,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.116% to 0.116% of the company. To keep it you'd need 12 more shares - about A$0 at the issue price.
