Article basically states Aurora owns a stake in this new company booth is CEO of. At the bottom of the article he says he would not be opposed to the company he is now CEO of to work together with Aurora in the future. This is great, this is more money coming in for Aurora until 2028 and IMO, Booth will never work for Aurora directly again. He is the one that diluted the heck out of all the shareholders and that’s why Aurora appointed a new CEO with a real business strategy that seems to be working rather nice!
- Despite the distance between Aurora and Australis, the two companies are still linked by way of a set of warrants held by Aurora, which won’t expire until September 2028.
In its most recent quarterly report, Aurora restated its current position in regards to Australis. Company documents show Aurora still holds 22.6 million warrants exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share; in total, these warrants equate to around a 20 percent stake in Australis.
The Canadian producer also reaffirmed it cannot act on these warrants until US federal law permits all of Australis’ business operations, or until Aurora receives permission to act on them from securities regulators. The latter would likely not happen without federal legalization.
But where exactly does that leave the current business relationship, if any at all, between the two corporations? Booth told INN he wants there to be one and said he is looking forward to potential discussions with Aurora.
“Some people may see that warrant thing as a hangover, but I intend to nurture the relationship with Aurora,” Booth said.
The executive reiterated that for any action to take place with the warrants, cannabis will have to be deemed legal in the US. But in the future, if there is a change in policy in the US market and the warrants came into play, he wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to work with Aurora.
“A lot of factors would say that they wouldn’t do it. And a lot of reasons that I wouldn’t be bothered if they did,” Booth said. “If you know me, you know I’ll look at any deal. You know I don’t harbor resentment (toward) anybody. Sure, there’s some people that pissed me off at Aurora, they still do, but most of them have left after I left. I don’t expect that would impede me or them from doing business together.”
