ASX:CGFFinancial ServicesToday’s holders own 98.5% of what they think they own, once every option and right converts.
No major dilution pressure signals in current disclosures
Challenger Limited's latest share-count filing shows 676M shares as of October 2026. The filed Appendix 2A series ends earlier, so the share-count change from an earlier date is not stated. The company has not raised equity capital in the past 24 months. Options and rights on issue could convert into 10M new shares, equal to 1.5% of the current share count; none are in the money, and no expiry date for these securities has been disclosed. The company is a financial institution, so a funding-runway figure does not apply and none is reported. No proposed securities issues (Appendix 3B) are pending.

Options & convertible securities
No option supply on record carries an exercise price to pay, so no share price switches any of it on. All 10.0M of it converts on something else — a hurdle that may never be met, or terms the filing does not price.

“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. For what expires soon across other listed companies, see the options expiry calendar.
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.
