Read the entire RNS again and look out for two distinct words that are used. The first is " Conversion shares" and the other is "Ordinary shares" . They have used these two distinctions on purpose ( admittedly in a confusing way). They both identify two separate amounts of shares that are now being held by John Story.
The RNS first talks about a sub set of shares called Conversion shares.
"Zoetic, the international CBD group, has received an exercise notice from Mr John Story to exercise today the full conversion rights on the £330,000 convertible loan note issued by the Company, originally announced on 12 February 2020 (the "Loan Note"). The Loan Note was convertible at a price of 6 pence per ordinary share of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), and was capable of exercise by Mr Story, in his sole discretion, at any time. As a result, the Company has today issued 5,500,000 new Ordinary Shares to Mr Story (the "CONVERSION SHARES") and the liability of the Loan Note has been extinguished.
Therefore 5,500,000 CONVERSION shares will be to the shares already being held in the company.
it then goes on ....."Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the "CONVERSION SHARES ...remember = 5,500,000 only" Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange .....and Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Conversion Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange will commence on or around 7 April 2021."
Then crucially
They are now talking about the shares John Story was holding plus the new CONVERSION shares = 5,500,000
"Following Admission, and to the best of the Company's knowledge, Mr Story will have a total interest in 27,512,221 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to the 13.62 per cent of issued Ordinary Shares. Mr Story has agreed not to dispose of the Conversion Shares ( 5,500,000 shares) for a period of one year from today (the "Period"), unless the Ordinary Shares trade at a minimum mid-market closing price for 10 consecutive trading days of not less than 480p at any point during the Period.
Therefore, John Story holds 27,512,221 Ordinary Shares.
He can sell approx. 22 million of these anytime he feels fit but has given a promise to hold the 5,500,000 recently Converted CONVERSION shares for at least one year and not sell at less than £4.80p.
Do you spot the difference....John Story could sell 80% this year and sell the recent CONVERSION shares in about 7 months time, at any price ( after the years grace which started April 21. ).
I'm not sure if this misleading information was a genuine mistake or something more sinister ....but there is a crew working this BB and also the Telegram pole group ( who have given me a life ban for challenging a few of their views- politely) .
Think of other places where the " Only one view doctrine" is accepted and you will see how dysfunctional it can become.
anyway that's my take on it.
