880k in the money, expiring in the window
Out-of-the-money options are excluded — at today’s price they expire rather than convert. So is condition-triggered supply, which has no expiry and no price, and convertibles that convert on their own terms rather than on a date.

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.

No estimatethe only Appendix 3B in the window claiming the 15% capacity states more than the whole allowance, so it cannot be counted.

At $0.094 today, 880k securities are in the money (0.4% of shares on issue). No more priced supply until today’s price, which takes it to 6.5M (2.6% 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.
  • 4.4M (29.6% 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.

1 class ceased in the last 12 months and is not counted above
The company’s own Appendix 2A restates each of these at zero. They are excluded from the overhang, the in-the-money supply and every figure on this page. Each count is the filing’s own count of securities in the class, not a share count — a 2A never states what one security converts into.
