RE: Dilution?29 Jul 2024 12:24
Do the sums. Yes, there is dilution. The old shares from MMM are diluted by 5 times though the new share price of 12.5p is 3.2 times higher than the closing price of 3.9p . Of course, it is not certain that the opening share price will be 12.5p but this looks quite likely.
"A total of 83,678,396 new Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") are being issued and allotted at an issue price of 12.5p pence each pursuant to the proposals as set out in the Prospectus.
Application has been made for the Enlarged Share Capital of 90,088,396 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Official List and London Stock Exchange from Admission.
Following Admission, the Company will have 90,088,396 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right."
If you subtract 83,678,396 (new shares issued at 12.5p) from 90,088,396 (total shares on readmission) this gives 6,410,000 which is the amount of shares already in existence from MMM. This figure when multiplied by 5 gives 32,050,000 shares which is the amount of MMM shares when they were suspended.
So the old shares have been divided by 5 but the starting share price should be 3.2 times higher than before suspension.
I don't know too much about this as I was not a holder before suspension but I did read on a post some while ago that there was a sum of cash held by MMM when the share was suspended and it looks as if this cash has been taken out of the equation (spent or whatever) and therefore the m/cap of the old MMM shares was less than the £1.25M shown above. In fact, if my maths are correct the m/cap without the cash was £801,250 (equal to 6,410,000 shares at 12.5p.
