Endurance hired Freedom Investors as placement agent to raise up to $3.75M (15M shares at $0.25) to fund salvage of its first confirmed wreck, the gold-carrying SS Connaught off New England. The company noted it had already relied on personal cash advances from its own officers in 2014 to verify the wreck's identity before this raise.
What it means for a shareholder
15.0m new shares at US$0.250 to raise about US$3.8m. That's 29% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 29% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0109% to 0.00775% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,638 more shares - about US$410 at the issue price.
