Hey schmoby -- thanks for your response. Btw, glad you had a good trip to st. lucia. Yup, I thought that was the case. ES has .08 and .09 warrants that can be exercised. ES also has compensation options with an .055 exercise price. And, of course, gundy's options can be exercised at .065. So assuming you and I are correct, all these could presumably be exercised at any time. And I believe alexandria's june 6 PR mentioned "an accelerated warrant exercise program". Hmm. Interesting.
You said it would make "absolutely zero sense" to pay the .09 exercise price for alexandria. Yet in prb.v's recently completed financing, we saw 1.90 FT units being bought, in spite of a current 1.25 sp. I guess it does happen. So we await to see where DP spends his treasury's loot. Jmvho.

Thanks, great trip, a bit long trip though, no direct flights from where I am at.
I think maybe there is a slight misunderstanding on accelerating warrants. It would be AZX doing that, normally it's stated at the beginning when they are given at the time of the PP. The catch is however that the holder of the warrants aren't compelled to exercise them.
Accelerated warrants generally read like this, once a share price holds over the strike price (.09 as in this case) for say something like 20 trading days the company can accelerate them. The holders however aren't forced to exercise them, they'd just walk away in this situation, they won't pay .09 for a .04 stock. There's probably a better definition on google but that's the gist of it.
FT's are a completely different animal, the tax benefit passes from the corporation to the shareholder, that's why they will pay more for them. I owned some a few years back, can't remember the name of the company offhand but they were bought in a hostile takeover and I did receive a nice tax credit when I filed my taxes that year, again google probably has a way better definition than I do.
I was audited on this also, so CRA probably checks them all, not a big deal as it's all legal but it's annoying.
