RE: Structure of Lanstead Capital Investors deal2 Aug 2023 20:50
This is quite a good explanation of how the facility works plus remember Lanstead has also been given 83.7million:
'Lanstead sell shares every day during the VWAP calculation period to raise the money to make the payment that is required. All they need to worry about is ensuring that their sales match the vwap. So month 1 for example they will sell roughly 39m shares; assume the vwap is 0.13, their sales will realise £50,700. They will be obliged to pay Oriole £73,625 * 0.13 / 0.2533 or £37,786. They make a risk free profit of £13k. They have no interest in being long term shareholders of the company.
Unless there are naturally buyers in the market to absorb their sales, the laws of supply and demand result in the share price falling. This is why it is called a death spiral.
