Q: Can Lanstead trade its nanosynth shares?
A: Lanstead has a demonstrable track record of being a longer-term supportive shareholder to its investee companies. Like any institutional investor Lanstead only invests in companies where it can see strong potential for share price appreciation.
Lanstead is free to buy and sell shares just like any other shareholder and it is required to disclose movements of >1% as a significant disclosable shareholder. Unlike other shareholders, Lanstead has an uncapped commitment through the sharing agreement to remit amounts each month to nanosynth based on the prevailing share price. Therefore whilst Lanstead may take a profit along the way (like any shareholder) and cover its downside risk on the investment (just like any shareholder), Lanstead also has an incentive (unlike other shareholders) to maintain a significant on-going shareholding because of its uncapped exposure on the amounts due to nanosynth over the 24 months of the sharing agreement should the nanosynth shares appreciate.
