COCHLEAR LIMITED
ASX:COHHealth Care Equipment & ServicesToday’s holders own 99.4% of what they think they own, once every option and right converts.
No major dilution pressure signals in current disclosures
COCHLEAR LIMITED's ordinary share count declined 0.1% between August 2024 and April 2026, to 65M shares. The company has not raised capital in the past 24 months and has no pending proposed securities issues. Options and rights on issue could convert into 386,025 new shares, representing 0.6% of the current share count, with none of these in the money at the current share price. An expiry date for these securities is not on record. The company does not lodge quarterly cash reports, so no quarterly cash balance or funding-runway figure is disclosed on that basis.

Capital raises
Forward supply
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-triggered212k · 0.3% of sharesOptions and warrants — they convert when the share price clears their exercise price.No exercise price is on record for any of it, so none of it can be called in or out of the money.
- Condition-triggered174k · 0.3% 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: 0 priced, 386k 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.
No option supply on record carries an exercise price to pay, so no share price switches any of it on. All 386k 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.
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.
