What is the timeline for the registration and execution of the share combination and subscription offerings?
Timeline
Digitalist Group PLC disclosed that the registration of the share‑combination transaction will be lodged with the relevant securities regulator immediately and, subject to standard clearance, is expected to be approved within the next 2‑3 weeks. Once the registration is effective, the company will open the subscription window for the new shares – both the adjusted pool under its convertible‑loan instruments and the 2021 stock‑option program – within 5‑7 business days of approval. The subscription period itself is slated to run for approximately 10‑12 business days, after which the combined shares will be issued and the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the month (i.e., within 30‑35 days from today).
Trading implications
The compressed timeline means the market will price in the dilution and conversion impact very quickly. In the short‑term you can expect heightened volatility around the registration filing and the opening of the subscription window, as investors re‑evaluate the post‑combination share count and the effective subscription price. If the subscription price is set at a modest discount to the current market level, the offering could attract strong take‑up, providing a short‑term price cushion. Conversely, any delay in regulatory clearance or a tepid subscription response could pressure the stock downward. Traders should watch the regulator’s clearance announcement (likely within the next two weeks) and the opening of the subscription window as key catalysts for entry or risk‑off positioning. A tight stop‑loss just below the pre‑announcement support level is prudent, while a breakout above the opening‑day high could signal buying momentum as the combination finalises.
