Analysis · COOT · Manufacturing
Australian Oilseeds raised roughly US$4.0 million by selling 18,240,000 new Class A shares at US$0.2193 each — about 52% below the US$0.4559 where the stock trades today, so the buyers received a steep discount to the current market. The raise adds 18.24 million shares to a base of 67.1 million post-closing, meaning existing holders absorbed roughly 37% dilution (18.24M / 48.87M pre-deal shares). The cash is earmarked for business expansion and working capital, which matters because the company sold its entire oilseed crushing operation for US$1.00 in July 2026 and is rebuilding around a new business plan. The deal also locks the company out of new equity issuance for 30 days and out of variable-rate or at-the-market financings for 60 days, and the purchasers get a resale registration statement on Form F-1 within 90 days — putting a tradable overhang on the stock once effective.
