Question?/// can anyone answer this please?Okay, here is my question. If you can answer it, thank you so much. If not, then I will try phoning trevor or troy.
The question involves this quote:
- Subsequent to the quarter, on October 29, 2020 , the Company issued 17,692,307 units at a price of $0.65 per unit for gross proceeds of $11.5 million . Each unit consists of one common share of Willow (" Common Shares ") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant of Willow (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). The Warrants have a strike price of $0.85 per Common Share, a 24-month term and a forced accelerator clause that allows the Company to force exercise of the Warrants if Willow trades at a 20-day VWAP of $1.20 or greater.
- So roughly 9 million warrants were issued. They have a strike price of 0.85. And a 24 month term which makes them expire in October or November 2022.
- So today, I bought warrants for 40 cents .
- So my question is this: Did I buy some of these 9 million warrants? And if I did, am I also subject to this forced exercise of warrants if willow trades at a 20 day Volume Weighted Average Price of 1.20 or greater? Or is it only for the original directors that bought them? I bought 10000( ten thousand) warrants at 40 cents for 4000 dollars. If I am forced to exercise them, does this mean that I now need to come up with 10000 times 85c or 8500 dollars to pay the company so that my warrants are now shares??? And if that is true, can I then sell my 10000( ten thousand shares) right away or must I wait awhile?
- And if this is true, does this mean that their is all of a sudden 9 million extra shares on the market if all the warrants are forced to be exercised?
- And if this is true, does this generally spell a big drop in share price, since many people will think with all these shares coming on the market, for sure the price of the stock is going to drop?
- And if this is true,,,this would explain why it seems like an infinite number of warrants are being offered at 40 cents. It is like all the holders of the warrants are wanting to sell at 40 cents, so they don't have to buy them out. And 40 cents is basically the value they are worth relative to the forced conversion of 1.20 price. ( actually at 1.20, the warrants should be about 35 cents. But factoring in the leverage benefit of buying triple the number, accounts for the extra 5 cents on the warrant).
- But again, if this is true...couldn't this also backfire since the number of warrants are not infinite, but limited. If all the holders of the warrants sold them into hands of people that are willing to buy them out and hold the shares, then, the price isn't going to drop at all. So, instead of paying 1.25 for a share on the common market, I can save 85 cents in case of the forced conversion, and buy a warrant for 40 cents. It is the same thing. If the warrant gets converted, then my 85 cents i put away, now goes to the company, and my warrant gets turned into a share. But if it take 3 months before the WVAP of 20 days goes above 1.20, then I only needed to put out 40 cents per share to hold onto this price, rather than 1.25. So a big chunk of money is not tied up. So it will be interesting to see what happens? Could go either way, Yet everyone knows that the momentum is only building leading up to commercialization.
