Total diluted stock currently at 209m shares?
First, vraiment thanks for your recent post on a summary of warrant offerings - can you confirm without me having to hunt (lazy!) which class of filings show this information about the share and warrant issues?
Also I am curious about total full dilution as things stand. From my reading of the recent 10-Q it looks to me like the total shares for which options and warrants exist added to the shares in issue amount to about 209 million - slightly more than the currently authorised shares limit. Which is why, if my reading is correct, the Execs (CEO and CFO) have entered into a restriction on the exercise of their options until/unless the total authorised share capital is raised. But I am not sure I am reading it right.
In the recent 10-Q, section 5 on Stock Options and Warrants, it says:
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), holders of options to purchase shares of common stock in the aggregate of 22,700,000 shares, each signed a declaration providing additional restriction on conditions under which they could exercise vested options to purchase stock. Specifically, the CEO and CFO are restricted from exercising options (“Restricted Options”) until the Company has authorized additional shares in its articles of incorporation such that the execution of the Restricted Options could not cause outstanding shares to exceed the current authorized shares on a fully diluted basis. In the absence of this restriction, the total exercisable shares as of June 30, 2013 would be 13,688,098.
I feel that the last line is not written correctly - that actually it meant to say in the presence of this restriction (not absence) CEO and CFO will only be able to exercise 13.6m options at present. Hence to exercise their full options would take us to about 209m shares.
This is reinforced by a conversation I had with Cecil a year back when I asked him and he indicated the total would be - I think he said - 215m - if at that time, all options were fully exercised. (I was impressed because he had the exact figures to reference, along with a lot of other statistics in the folder he was carrying).
Anybody read this differently?
