AUSTRALIAN SILICA QUARTZ GROUP LTD
ASX:ASQMaterialsToday’s holders own 97.4% of what they think they own, once every option and right converts.
Share count grew 32% in 24 months; runway 4–8 quarters; 1 cash raise in 24 months
AUSTRALIAN SILICA QUARTZ GROUP LTD had 419M shares outstanding as of June 2026. The company has made one capital raise in the past 24 months, a placement completed in April 2026 that raised A$750K. Options and rights on issue could convert into 11M new shares, representing 2.7% of the current share count, with no options currently in the money; the nearest expiry date for these options is April 2028. As of June 2026, the company reported A$3.1M in available cash, sufficient for approximately 7.2 quarters at its recent spending rate. There are no pending proposed securities issues. The share count is the ASX market reading; the filed Appendix 2A series ends earlier, so growth over the window is not stated.

Each filing states the count for the security it names, as at its own reference date and in the units of that filing — so the newest row (319.4M) need not equal the current count above (419.4M).

Every dated event on record that could add securities to the register — option expiries to their stated dates and proposed issues over the next 18 months, on one timeline.
Placement capacity
How much stock a company can place without asking holders. Listing Rule 7.1 allows 15% of ordinary securities in any 12 months, and every Appendix 3B states how much of it an issue uses.

Options & convertible securities
- Price-triggered2.0M · 0.5% of sharesOptions and warrants — they convert when the share price clears their exercise price.
- Condition-triggered9.2M · 2.2% of sharesPerformance and incentive rights — they convert when a hurdle is met, not at a price, and can lapse to nothing.
Exercise price on record: 2.0M priced, 9.2M where the filing never states one. A security with no exercise price is never counted in the money — nothing is paid to convert it, so there is no price for it to be above.
Each figure is the filing’s own count of securities, not a share count — a 2A never states what one security converts into.
An exercise price is on record for only 17.9% of this supply, so what is in the money today is not a measurement — the tile above reads “—” for that reason. Of the priced supply, 0 is in the money at $0.018 today. No more priced supply until 3× today’s price, which takes it to 2.0M (0.5% of shares).
- Priced supply in the money at the price on the axis — the curve, and the only thing on it. Ten prices, sampled: between two of them the true figure lies between the two.
- 9.2M (82.1% of the supply above) states no exercise price at all. It cannot be called in or out of the money at any price, which is why it is hatched rather than plotted.

“Nil” is a stated nil exercise price: nothing is paid to convert. An em dash means the filing names no exercise price at all. Security is read from the filing’s own class description; an em dash there means the description is not one this table labels. One row is one security class, at the number stated in the most recent quotation application that restated it — linked, and dated, in the last column.
A condition-triggered class has no exercise price and usually no expiry: what it vests on is set by a shareholder resolution, not by the register. Where the company lodged a notice of meeting before the class first appears here, it is linked as “Meeting” — that is where terms of this kind are put to shareholders. It is not confirmation that the document sets this class’s conditions, and no link appears where there is no such filing.
