These partly paid shares are paid to 0.5 cents per share with 19.5 cents outstanding, now representing 0.14% of voting power, down from 0.21% due to dilution from new ordinary shares issued.
Rights Issue Acceptances and Consideration Share Allotment Drive Stake Increase
The increase in Kumova’s holding stems from three transactions detailed in the notice. On 8 May 2026, two entities linked to Kumova accepted shares under a rights issue at $0.10 per share: Kitara Investments Pty Ltd (Kumova #1 Family Account) acquired 850,000 shares, and Gondwana Investment Group Pty Ltd (Kumova Family Super Fund Account) acquired 512,500 shares, totaling 1,362,500 shares.
On 29 May 2026, Kitara Investments Pty Ltd received an allotment of 1,400,000 consideration shares at a deemed price of $0.10 per share. This allotment, described as "Allotment of Consideration Shares," accounts for the remainder of Kumova’s 2,762,500-share increase. The notice does not disclose further details about the underlying transaction related to these shares.
Kumova’s Holdings Spread Across Three Associated Entities
The substantial holder notice reveals Kumova’s relevant interest is held through three registered entities: Kitara Investments Pty Ltd (3,950,000 fully paid shares), Gondwana Investment Group Pty Ltd (1,537,500 fully paid shares), and Sisu International Pty Ltd (481,250 fully paid shares plus 87,500 partly paid shares).

Regulatory Disclosure Under Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001
Tolga Kumova’s notice is a Form 604 filed under Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001, requiring substantial holders to disclose changes in voting power exceeding 1%. Kumova’s previous notice was dated 25 March 2026; this current notice covers changes up to 29 May 2026.

Insights from Rights Issue Participation on Regener8 Resources’ Capital Movements
The rights issue at $0.10 per share conducted in early 2026 allowed existing shareholders to purchase additional shares at a set price. Entities linked to Kumova exercised their entitlements, as recorded in the notice. The consistent $0.10 price applies to all three transactions, including the consideration share allotment. The notice does not disclose the total rights issue size, aggregate funds raised, or intended use of proceeds; investors seeking such details should consult earlier ASX company announcements.
Partly Paid Shares Held by Sisu International Pty Ltd Remain Steady
Sisu International Pty Ltd holds 87,500 partly paid shares paid to 0.5 cents per share with 19.5 cents unpaid. This class obligates the holder to pay the balance upon company call or agreement. The holding has not changed since the previous notice but now represents a smaller voting power percentage due to dilution from new share issuances. The timing or conditions for payment of the unpaid portion are not disclosed.

Investors should monitor future substantial holder filings, company updates on resource projects, financial results, and capital raising to gauge shareholder dynamics and company progress. The current announcement does not include forward-looking statements or financial performance metrics beyond shareholding disclosures.
