Hm, I don't think it was done to "keep the lights on"
BT, I think with crml shares able to be sold and substantially increased revenue they have that covered.
I think this was to pay creditors, likely the accrued interest on the cln. I'll reiterate what I said earlier, and something you confirmed, shares issued at a premium, yes because it is Par value, but to the value of a specific figure, £406k.
This is the sum that will be expected to be recouped from selling said shares, or perhaps more if the SP is above Par. Unlikely without stimuli, admittedly.
Now the only way Mr. Market will allow enough of a tick up, to allow the seller to dispose of all 406m shares at Par value, or above, would be if some sort of news appeared to encourage a lot of buying.
No creditor worth their salt would have accepted this as payment, if they didn't think they could sell the shares at the value stated above, especially not Atlas. I think we can both agree, they are not at all lenient, and wouldn't agree to this without some pretty firm assurances.
If it turns out, they've agreed to remove the conversion element of the original finance deal, and the 1.69m is to be repaid as debt with interest, similar to the other cln holders agreement, mentioned in the interim results, I think Mr.Market will see his way to granting the necessary tick up required to recoup the interest debt.
I think this is phase one, remove interest debt. Phase two, a repayment plan for the 1.69m balance. I suspect we may have sold some crml today to begin facilitating that.
