Analysis · OPTH · Life Sciences
Optimi Health has entered into a US$100 million equity line of credit with Seven Knots, LLC, giving the company the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares over time. The facility is priced at a 3% discount to the lower of the lowest sale price or VWAP during the purchase period, with a maximum draw of US$2 million per purchase. As consideration, Optimi issued a US$1.5 million convertible note, with a potential additional US$500,000 note if draws reach US$7 million. The notes convert at 95% of the 20-day VWAP with a US$3.00 floor, and are prepayable at par. This financing provides significant potential capital but carries dilution risk and a convertible note overhang. The company's stock price of $4.6672 is above the $3.00 conversion floor, so the notes are currently in-the-money for conversion.
