What happens to short sellers when pre funded warrants are offered?

Discussion in 'Trading' started by trader3030, Aug 10, 2021.

  1. Tomorrow, August 11, BRCX is offering prefunded warrants concurrent with a secondary offering.

    If I am short the stock, going into todays close, will I be stuck with being short warrants or anything else in addition to common stock.

    Thank you in advance for any insight.

    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Aug. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCRX) announced today that it has withdrawn its proposed public offering. With our strong balance sheet, and increasing revenues from ORLADEYO® (berotralstat), we believe that current market conditions are not conducive to an offering on terms that would be in the best interests of our current stockholders. We are well capitalized, with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $222.8 million as of June 30, 2021. Based on our expectations for revenue, operating expenses, and our option to access an additional $75 million from our existing credit facility, we believe our current cash runway takes us into 2023.
