$BOT into a trading halt.

Any takers?

Capital Raise, driven by debt covenant? (I'm not on top of that)

M&A (takover)?

Board or management resignation? Or more "ill health"?

Product recall?

I reckon raise 20-30m at 8c..

Edit, they essentially had less than 2q of funding end of last Q but they included the debt they can't access to make it look better.

See what the spin is on this one for why they need more.

70m on approval July 2024

30m to help with product flying out the door last April (got em) April 2025

30m of debt May/June 2025.

15m debt can't be drawn unless the market cap increases a lot.

Now a fresh one TBC

Really know how to rip through the cash.

Interesting to see they are looking to Kaken for an alternative supplier, interesting because Kaken sale price appears to be lower than BOTs Cogs..

Ouch. Raise incoming -- a question of how much are they having to discount?

My view. It’s clearly a mangy dog!! Take anything left of your invested funds and run for the hills…just don’t break into a sweat.

Looks like 30m @ .... 6c.

Needs EGM approval for 2 part raise and oh look this time there is a SPP.. back the truck up they are taking over subscriptions for the SPP how generous of them.

Thanks to the continued updates from the inestimable @mikebrisy I finally shook off apathy and pulled the pin on $BOT 2 weeks ago. Thankful to have dodged this one. (Of course, if I had listened to him earlier I would have gotten out with a tidy profit, instead of the decent loss I ended up with.)

We have our answer on the BOT raise: 06wd7dh5wy4wn3.pdf

~A$40m from insto and sophisticated, plus A$5m SPP at $0.06

+ Options 1:1

Poof goes any remaining shareholder value

@Tom73 spot on. This was looking like it will at best become weakly profitable some way down the track. But now, on an ultimate EPS basis, it's a sad story for those who have held on.

That they raised capital did not surprise me - a while ago I predicted "late CY2026 or early CY 2027". That they moved so soon, did, big time. But I guess then you have restrictive financing covenants and a SP trend only heading south, soon is never soon enough.

Unless something changes dramatically (never say never) I cannot see this amounting to anything. For example, I don't think there is one jot of new information adding to the last report, which says that any momentum into CY26 is not worth mentioning. (But I'll stop here, as I don't intend to pile on.)

My real question is: who would pile more cash into this?

Disc: not held
