The Retail Entitlement Offer closed on 25 August 2020 with eligible retail shareholders and Depositary Interest (DI) holders applying for approximately A$11.0 million worth of new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) pursuant to their entitlements and additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility (representing a take up rate of approximately 40%).
