A Merrill Lynch analyst, Matthew Spence, calculated the full conversion of BBI's BEPPA and SPARCS hybrids - a likely condition of any recapitalisation plan - would leave current shareholders with just 18 per cent of the company.
And that is before the cornerstone investor injects additional equity in return for what is likely to be a majority stake in the company. After that, existing holders would own less than 9 per cent of the company, which would then have more than 29 billion shares on issue.
9%? Is this the biggest DILUTION ever in the Aus share market history?
