OVT’s Progress: Why Shareholders Should Be Watching Very Closely, page-30

Ollie, that post tells part of the story, but leaves out every material development since 31 March.

Yes, Section 8 of the 4C shows 0.41 quarters of runway based on $1.617M cash and a $3.948M burn. But here’s what’s changed since — backed by sources:

1. Entitlement Offer Raised ~$368k (Closed 2 May 2025)
   ASX Announcement:

   → Updated cash position after entitlement and note repayment: ~$1.04M
   → No debt remains on the books

2. 1.26 Billion Shortfall Shares Still Available to Place Until 2 Aug 2025
   That’s a potential ~$5M raise capacity sitting unused.

This isn’t just surviving — this is a structural pivot. And it’s been done before.

Turnaround Examples from the Same Playbook

1. Zip Co (ASX: ZIP)
   Was nearly written off in 2022. Cut markets, slashed burn, restructured leadership — share price rebounded 700%+ by 2024.

2. Pushpay (ASX: PPH)
   Stalled SaaS fintech. New CEO, smarter go-to-market focus, strategic acquisition — went from losses to profitability and was acquired for ~$1B in 2023.

3. SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI)
   Went from scandal and declining relevance to a fully diversified fintech leader with 10M+ members. Stadium naming rights, Galileo acquisition, banking license.

This is what turnarounds look like. You tighten costs, lock in revenue levers, restructure leadership, and then build from the ground up.

Cash was tight, yes — but the capital options are still active, and the model is fundamentally stronger than 6 months ago. The lights aren’t out. They’re being rewired.
