Warrants / Outstanding Shares12 Feb 2021 11:28
If I understand the last RNS correctly, DP and YA agreed to take the second half of there salary shares under the rules of the incentive shares this summer. One signal surely should be that they intend not to sell them and to stay in the company for longer. Bute the othe signal is that they wish to get their outstanding shares situation sorted out and to become more transparent.
A full overview of all warrants and similar would have been nice, but it seems it is up to us to find out.
I traced the warrants back to the end of 2019 using their RNS, and found the following:
(01) RNS 02 Dec 2019: +383.040.000 @ 0.25p latest 12/2021
(02) RNS 05 Jan 2020: -12,000,000 @ 0.25p
(03) RNS 05 Jan 2020: -30,773,543 @ 33p
(04) RNS 31 Mar 2020: +590,906,437 @ 0.25p employee warrant pool
(05) RNS 11 Jun 2020: -32,000,000 @ 0.25p
(06) RNS 12 Jun 2020: -53,000,000 @ 0.25p
(07) RNS 19 Jun 2020: -14,400,000 @ 0.25p
(08) RNS 19 Jun 2020: -191,000,000 @ 0.375p
(09) RNS 08 Dec 2020: -116,000,000 @ 0.25p
(10) RNS 28 Sept 2020: "Dilutive and anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares:
The following potential ordinary shares were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive. Share warrants in issue: 576,876,933 Convertible loans in issue: 235,991,940 Total anti-dilutive shares: 812,868,873"
I didn't go back further, because (10) gives a clear limit at a certain moment.
Since (10) "Dilutive and anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares" only lists anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares, one should assume that there are only "anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares". The warrants are probably the remainder of (01) and the part of (04) already issued to employees and maybe some older. So there shouldn't be any more surprises.
And then I started adding up:
(03) and (08) cannot be omitted from (01) or (04) due to the price. They come from older warrants and cannot be deducted here. I guess, they are the last of their kind. The worst case is limited by (10) minus the remainders of (01) and parts of (04).
Let us assume the ideal case: (02), (06), (06), (07), (09) come from (01), then from (01) there are only 155,640,000 warrants left. These must be executed latest by the end of the year. That is a calculable risk. In fact, it's so little that it's not even a risk. But it's just coming towards us.
So in the ideal case we are at:
709,291,703 employee-related dilutive instruments outstanding
155,640,000 warrants
= 865ml shares outstanding (good case, high probability in my eyes)
Anything else ? Until here, reading this makes me very very confident.
