5 Oct 2012capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Upsized the same-day bought deal to $30.0 million - 11,765,000 shares at $2.55 - with the 15% over-allotment option unchanged and the proceeds still earmarked for eliminating the gold hedge. Two versions of this release and the original $26.1 million announcement were all furnished on 5 October 2012, so this company has three separate rows covering what is really one financing.
What it means for a shareholder
11.8m new shares at $2.55 to raise about $30.0m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
