Novelion could arrange for Amryt Shares to be placed in the market (unless they have a timing constraint), and the proceeds together with the cash passed to their shareholders.
Alternatively there could be, pro rata transfers in specie to Novelion shareholders. The majority of shareholder are funds, so the directors may move with the majority preference. We will have to wait and see.
Not withstanding how they dispose of these shares, I wouldn't follow Amryt share price as a guide to its value at this time. The $60m fundraising shares( without CVRs), were bought by insiders, including Private Equity Funds, at £1.44 a share on 25th Sept. This is an informed valuation of the new Amryt.
Since 20th Sep, Amryt shares have been falling from the high point of £1.41 when CVRs were created. Some shareholders could be liquidating holdings to use the funds elsewhere, but retaining their CVRs.
Expect some volatility until these issues play out and we get a bit more certainty.
