IMO, it's because when the free float starts drying up, it won't be possible to get the shares at this price. There's 160 mil in issue and close to 30% are with the BOD.
The MCAP here is basically cash in the bank, which values the experience of the BOD and a main market listing at 'zero'.
In reality, 2.4 mil MCAP pre-raise, doesn't seem too mad. They are likely to be issuing circa 2 billion shares for the first portfolio they acquire, then consolidate maybe 1/10. So 200 million shares in issue with a mcap of circa 30 million. Then they may then decide to take out a 80% mortgage on the acquired business to buy another property company for circa 20 mil.
Use the rental cash flows to repay the debt and possibly a dividend from any residual. Leave the properties to revalue over time to allow for capital growth.
Property is boring of course, but crunch the numbers and you will see, it's not too crazy to assume this business could indeed end up becoming a 'multi bagger'.
