If we go by your understanding, my view on why they would have sold a number of shares early on is because they are probably balancing their books and the risk. If I was them I would be selling more shares if the share price was higher than at the start, to ensure there is money available to pay Oriole. AIM is so wild in its ups and downs I'd be making sure I stayed the right side of the share price to meet my obligations and make a profit. So selling as much as possible when you're in a good price range seems sensible from a profit and balance sheet perspective because they are managing their exposure to risk of it going down. So, all the while it's higher, and staying higher, I'd be expecting them to cut the losses in an emotionless way. If it goes up further, I'd probably ramp up selling even more. This is all on the assumption that they are trading to make a profit on the share price.
Saying all this, the counter process (which is how I thought it worked) is that they don't care what the price is and they just sell the same each month and it is what it is. If it's low, Oriole and Lansted get less, if its high they both get more. Otherwise at what price would Landsted be paying them an amount each month???
