They are raising $5M and therefore must be issuing $5M/$2 = 2.5M shares.It is a 1 for 4 rights issue and there the current number of shares in issue must be 4 x 2.5M = 10M.AuthorPostsViewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
