The entitlement offer raised $3.83M before costs: 112,635,630 new shares at $0.034 were taken up, against a maximum of about 132.7M. A 20,019,604-share shortfall remains, which directors may place within 3 months. Shares issue 27 March.
What it means for a shareholder
113m new shares at A$0.034 to raise about A$3.8m. That's 13% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 13% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (29,412 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0038% to 0.00332% of the company. To keep it you'd need 4,277 more shares - about A$145 at the issue price.
