This 6-K filing details the agenda for ioneer Ltd's upcoming Annual General Meeting. The most significant item is the proposed ratification of a substantial $72 million share placement that occurred on February 5, 2026. This placement, which involved 400 million shares at $0.18 each, represented approximately 24.2% of the company's current market capitalization. While the shares have already been issued, shareholder ratification is sought to replenish the company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, providing crucial flexibility for future capital requirements, particularly for the Rhyolite Ridge project and general corporate purposes. The need for such a large capital raise underscores the company's ongoing funding requirements.
