We've issued 13,301,622 new fully paid ordinary shares under our Share Purchase Plan, announced to shareholders on 9 September 2026. The shares were issued at A$0.12 each and were quoted on ASX on 28 September 2026.

Following this issue, Aureka has 208,911,890 ordinary shares on issue. There's also a range of unquoted options and performance rights outstanding, as set out in the announcement, none of which change as a result of this SPP issue.

This isn't the end of the capital raising. Up to a further 10,625,000 shares are still to be issued under Tranche 2 of the placement, but that's conditional on shareholder approval at a General Meeting scheduled for 23 October 2026. We'll update the market on that outcome in due course.

For those who took up shares in the SPP, this confirms your allocation is now on issue and trading on ASX. For all shareholders, it's worth keeping in mind that the total number of shares on issue will increase again if Tranche 2 is approved next month.
