We've issued 412,376 new Aureka ordinary shares, following the conversion of performance rights granted under our Employee Incentive Securities Plan. These shares were quoted on ASX on 2 October 2026 and rank equally with our existing ordinary shares from that date.

The performance rights were issued at no cost to the holder, consistent with the terms of our ESIP rules adopted in November 2024. This is a routine step in how we reward and retain our people, converting rights that had already vested into tradeable shares.

Following this issue, Aureka has 209,324,266 ordinary shares on issue. We still have other unquoted securities on issue, including options and performance rights, which will convert to ordinary shares over time as they vest or are exercised under their own terms.

This is a small, mechanical change to our capital structure rather than a new capital raising, and it doesn't alter our strategy or operations.
