What are the terms and conditions of the preāfunded warrants, and how might they impact future share count and liquidity?
Terms & Conditions of the PreāFunded Warrants
The offering gives the investor the right to receive up to 60āÆmillion shares of NXTT either as āordinaryā common stock or as preāfunded warrants that are functionally equivalent to shares. The warrant purchase price is set at the same $0.15 perāshare price paid for common stock minus an exercise price of $0.001 per share. In practice, the investor pays $0.149 per warrant; when the warrant is exercised, an additional $0.001 cash is required per share to convert the warrant into ordinary stock. The warrants are therefore āpreāfundedā ā the bulk of the purchase price is paid upāfront, and the tiny exercise amount is a procedural hurdle that prevents the investor from receiving the shares outright at the time of the offering. The agreement does not disclose any lockāup, antiādilution or earlyāexercise restrictions, but typical market practice for such instruments includes a 30ā to 90āday lockāup on the warrants and a āfullārateā antiādilution clause that adjusts the exercise price if the company issues additional securities at a lower price.
Impact on Future Share Count & Liquidity
If the warrants remain unexercised, the companyās basic share count stays at the current level, preserving existing ownership percentages and avoiding immediate dilution. However, the warrants represent a potential increase of up to 60āÆmillion shares (the ādilutedā share base) once the $0.001 exercise is satisfied. Because the exercise price is essentially negligible, the warrants are expected to be converted relatively quicklyāespecially if the market price stays above the $0.15 issuance priceāadding a sizable block of shares to the float. This influx will expand the freeāfloat and improve liquidity, which can narrow bidāask spreads and support higher trading volumes. Conversely, the sudden addition of 60āÆM shares could put downward pressure on the stock price if the market cannot absorb the extra supply, and it will dilute earnings per share on a dilutedāEPS basis. Traders should watch for any filingābased lockāup expirations or company announcements that might trigger mass exercise, and factor the diluted share count into valuation models (e.g., priceātoāsales, EV/EBITDA) and riskāadjusted position sizing.
