Hi Trek,
Personally I'm not convinced riverfort will need or want to do any of those hedging options against their stock option tbh.
To my understanding the deal is that, if the principle is extended past the initial 3 months, they can convert the entire amount or smaller amount if part paid, at a price equal to a 10% discount to the lowest VWAP in the ten days prior to conversion.
So its not a case, to my understanding, not using a 5 day VWAP and instead using a longer 10 day VWAP (longer than typical) is to their advantage. As if the principle remains unpaid (in part or in full) and is therefore extended, Riverfort will get the lowest VWAP of those preceding 10 trading days.
As you say the warrants are irrelevant ATM and anyone buying in now, or with an average below the 42p strike price, would be happy if they get in the money on those.
I also agree with the macro impact to the bonds terms and closure timelines. Clearly other funding options will be considered but they seem confident of closing, or at least minimising dilutionary funding to be a fallback / last option and only if essential.
I'm happy with that commitment, especially as the main driver to stock listing is the ability to pull the lever of raising via equity issuance.
Happy to be invested here, as I can tell you are.
