New major risk - Shareholder dilution

The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Over 12x increase in shares outstanding. This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Latest financial reports are more than 1 year old (reported June 2023 fiscal period end). Shares are highly illiquid. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 12x increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (€132.3k market cap, or US$152.5k).
