What is the size of the share increase relative to the current float and recent trading volume?

Short answer: The press‑release you cited does not contain the quantitative details needed to calculate how large the underwriters’ additional‑share purchase will be relative to Aura’s (AURA) current float or to its recent trading volume. Without the specific numbers for:

  1. The size of the underwriters’ option (i.e., how many additional shares are being purchased)
  2. Aura’s current float (the total number of shares outstanding that are freely tradable)
  3. Recent average daily trading volume (shares/day) or the most recent day’s volume

we cannot compute a percentage increase or a “share‑increase‑to‑float” ratio, nor can we express the increase as a multiple of recent trading volume.

How you would calculate the “size of the share increase” if you had the data

Metric Data you need How to calculate What the result tells you
Absolute share increase Number of shares the underwriters are buying (e.g., 5 M) = Number of shares purchased Gives the raw size of the new issuance
Relative to current float Current float (e.g., 100 M) % Increase = (Shares purchased Ă· Current float) × 100% Shows how much the float will be diluted by the new shares
Relative to recent trading volume Average daily trading volume (e.g., 2 M shares/day) Days‑of‑volume = (Shares purchased Ă· Avg. daily volume) Indicates how many days of typical trading the new issuance represents. A larger number could signal more market impact.

Example (illustrative only):

- If the underwriters’ option = 4 M shares

- Current float = 80 M shares

- Avg. daily volume = 1.5 M shares

Then:

  • % of float = (4 M Ă· 80 M) × 100 % = 5 % increase in float.
  • Days‑of‑volume = 4 M Ă· 1.5 M ≈ 2.7 days of trading volume.

What to do next

  1. Locate the full press release (or the SEC filing, e.g., Form 8‑K, S‑1, or prospectus supplement) that accompanies the headline. It will typically list:

    • The exact number of additional shares the underwriters are exercising.
    • The existing outstanding share count (or “float” if it’s a public‑company filing).
    • Recent trading data (often found in the “Market Information” section of the filing or on a market data provider).

  2. Gather the current float and recent trading volume from a reliable market data source (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Reuters, or the “Key Statistics” page on a financial data platform).

  3. Plug the numbers into the calculations above to get the relative size.

Bottom line

Based strictly on the information you’ve provided, we do not have the required figures to determine the share‑increase size relative to Aura’s current float and recent trading volume. To produce the specific percentage or “days‑of‑volume” figure, you’ll need the exact number of shares the underwriters are buying, as well as the latest float and average daily volume numbers. Once you have those, the simple calculations shown above will give you the answer.
