The details: Bonnier Capital subscribed for shares at US$12.8 each, taking its stake to about 19.2% of shares and votes. The transaction lifts AAC Clyde Space's share count from 7,794,430 to 8,173,289 and dilutes existing holders by roughly 4.6%.

What's the endgame? AAC Clyde Space builds satellite components, runs mission services, and delivers space-based data for uses spanning weather monitoring, maritime safety, defence, and agriculture.
