Tim’s conundrum So let's say you have warrants in hand that are about to expire. You've already got more Erin shares than you ever planned to hold, so what's a guy or gal to do? The share price on the open market is 8.5 cents, and the warrant exercise price is 7.5 cents. I guess I'd be fool not to sell as many shares at 8 or 8.5 before the warrants expire, and profit half a cent or penny each. That's 6 to 13% right there. Probably the main reason our share price has dropped steadily for months.
now consider we have over 20 million warrants set to expire toward the end of next year. To absorb that, warrant holders would need to sell 100,000 shares/day for a year to profit in the same way. Last we we averaged 13,000 shares traded per day. Not much chance for our share price to rise. Now of course many will redeem and hold, some maybe go by the way side accidentally, but you can see there are serious market pressures pushing our price down to warrant exercise prices. No question, no debate.
The condundrum Tim faces, enacting the acceleration clause on the faithful supporters and force their hand on redeeming, or leave the share price to languish, not exactly doing the faithful any favours.
Some times tough love is what is required. Gather up enough money for Erin(not Balkin Gold) salaries and expenses, enact the acceleration clause, and let's tidy that warrant mess up, for everyone's good. Unless people think we can sustain huge trading numbers day in day out. Considering we are the only ones that buy the shares, probably not going to happen.
Don't worry Lana, this message is for Tim, not you. Anyway, my apologies to my friends with warrants, but they are a bit of an impediment to out share price. But please take advantage of them as management and the deal allows
Have a good day gang!
Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, Erin issued 8,845,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one (1) warrant which are exercisable into one (1) Common Share of the Company (each a “Warrant”). The Warrants are exercisable for two (2) years at a price of $0.075.
The Warrants also have an acceleration clause whereby if the Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) at a price equal or greater than the designated trigger price of $0.15 for more than ten (10) consecutive trading days, Erin shall have the right to give written notice to the holder requiring the holder to exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part, within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of notice from Erin.
