Trying to work out why SP still struggling. I think this might explain it:
RNS 2.2.2021 Issue of Equity
Xtract announces that it has received notice to exercise warrants over 2,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.02p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 1.85p per Ordinary Share. Accordingly, the Company has issued, 2,000,000 new Ordinary Shares in settlement of this exercise ("Warrant Exercise Shares").The Company has also agreed to settle a corporate creditor through the issuance 2,103,152 new ordinary shares at an issue price of 5.03p per ordinary share ("Settlement Shares").
The Warrant Exercise Shares and the Settlement Shares (together the "New Ordinary Shares") will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares and application is being made for in aggregate 4,103,152 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 8 February 2021.
So we’ve got a creditor who’s accepted 2m shares in lieu of cash settlement. They are likely to want to monetise that payment. We’ve got 2m warrants issued at 1.85p. Why would you not take a large profit there?
So that’s another 4m shares to potentially churn through that only came onto the market yesterday. It’ll take more than a day or two for that to happen though of course if we get positive news in meantime that should speed it up.
