Binding commitments to raise $1.0M (26.35M shares at 3.8c, a 6.82% discount to the 15-day VWAP) with free 10c options expiring June 2023. Tranche 2 and $135,000 of director money need shareholder approval. Share price had been 6.6c in January. Non-executive directors forgo fees to 30 June.
What it means for a shareholder
26.4m new shares at A$0.038 to raise about A$1.0m. That's 18% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 18% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (26,316 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0225% to 0.0184% of the company. To keep it you'd need 5,926 more shares - about A$225 at the issue price.
