RE: RE: Deans Knight Winter-thanks for all your posts on this board.
When you exercise a warrant, the company issue new shares to satisfy the warrant obligation at the strike price. It is essentially a source of funding for the Company. No one coughs up the difference, the shares are issued below market value to the exerciser, who can immediately sell those shares on the open market at current value if they so choose. However, the loser is the other shareholders, who get diluted with more issued shares, as the Company received funding for those issued shares at less than current market value. This is why most people gripe at the amount of warrants typically issued in junior PPs-all it means for them is future dilution if exercised.
Also, I believe you are quoting unrisked NAV on this board. You should only look at risked NAV, unrisked is a relatively useless metric and no institutional investor considers it as part of their investment decision. I have not seen an updated risked NAV since LM3, I would imagine it is around
.25-0.28 at the very highest.
