Babaoriley: Any such raise will be dilutive, of course, but if it helps us achieve Suresh's vision for the company much faster, then it likely will be very much worth the dilution.
I completely agree with you, Babaoriley! I just ask the company to ease the shareholders’ pain of dilution a little when doing a capital raise: Give shareholders tradable subscription rights for new shares, so that everyone has a fair chance to participate in the capital raise themselves.
Whoever cannot or does not want to exercise their subscription rights in full, sells them on the stock exchange. And here’s where the big boys can collect them to get in.
Depending on the conditions of the raise, this would give everyone the (theoretical) chance to keep their own share in the company – or at least make some money by selling the rights.
