Is it me being thick? My take is that they will issue 19 new shares, for every one in existence, and these will be offered to existing holders, such as us. Therefore, whatever the SP at the time of the raise, we have the option to purchase another 19 shares, for every share held - so if 50k shares owned, you could buy another 950k. This gives them funding for future lending, so even if the share price is 1p, I can massively average down from my current 10p average. If approved, once lending resumes, the SP will rise back to say 5p, so 400% increase in value of holding. If I have this right, yes there will be like a zillion shares in issue, but still good scope to average down, and still come out in profit. Not ideal for a day trader,, or those buying shares on 10 day credit but for a LTH that can sit on the holding for a year, and top up at the time of the RI, then it's not the end of the world
