GL Brands Inc. (fka GRLB)

[la_trader]

Let me put this another way -it may help.

the "Float" are the shares in the OS that are freely traded to the public- bought, sold etc. and managed by the TA.

the remainder of the OS, minus the float, is comprised of restricted held and insider held stock.

the company can choose to take a block of the float and issue it to an investor with restrictions. this will reduce the float but does not increase the OS

A company CANNOT magically make shares to issue from the AS. ever. there is a chain of public SEC filings that precede the event as well as significant legal / filing costs.

everything you saw in the FRLF 10q were shares that are part of the current OS and reduced the float number. -or was a past note deal that was completely paid off. BTW the present float is tiny!

Also- the CEO could transfer some of his held shares to an outside investor as part of a deal. which would not affect the float at all.

either way the OS does not increase.
