• Institutional placement to raise $114.0 million.
• Issue of approximately 28.5 million new shares, equivalent to approximately 15.0% of the Company’s current shares on issue of 190.3 million.
• Share Purchase Plan capped at $10m, offering all existing shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 each in new shares at the Offer Price (the Company reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions subject to demand).

Hmmmn. How will this work? ABB has approximately 15,000 small shareholders (with 100,000 shares or less). If each one of these were to subscribe for $30K-worth of new shares under the SPP, applications would total $450mn, a tad in excess of the $10mn plan cap. In reality, of course, not all 15,000 shareholders will subscribe and not all subscribing shareholders will apply for anything close to $30K-worth of shares. Further, the company will (probably, as implied in the cap raise announcement) accept some degree of oversubscription. That said, even if only one-third of the aforementioned 15,000 shareholders contribute an average $5,000 apiece, that's $25mn in applications - two and a half times the $10mn cap. Why does the placement ($114mn) to institutions need to completely and utterly dwarf the SPP ($10mn)? As a small shareholder, you could be forgiven for feeling like an afterthought.
