Warrant 凭单,顾名思义就是母股(mother share)送的免费子股。 一般上 warrant 会有 5 to 10 years的成熟期限(maturity date)。若拥有凭单股东们不在 maturity date 之前把手上的凭单以实行价(exercise price)转换成母股(mother share),那么过了 maturity date之后,手握的凭单(warrant)将会是一张没有价值的废纸。
Example: Warrant Company A
Mother share of Company A = RM1.00
Warrant share of Company A = RM0.25
bluefun bought 1,000units of company A Warrant-A at price RM0.24,before maturity date 1/1/2020, bluefun exercise 1,000units of warrant A to mother share A。 Exercise price is RM0.80,therefore bluefun need to top up RM0.80 x 1,000units=RM800 to convert the warrant A to mother share A。
Holding cost of warrant A = 1,000unit x RM0.240 = RM240.00
Conversion cost of warrant A to mother share A = 1,000unit x RM0.80 = RM800
Total cost of mother share A = RM240.00 + RM800 = RM1,040.00
Share value of company A = 1,000unit x RM1.00 = RM1,000.00
而 conversion of warrant 将会稀释(diluted) 公司的 earning per share(EPS)。 因为 no. of share issued增加了,就代表公司流通于市场上股票的数量多了。
Warrant将不会 entitled for dividend,但若是凭单拥有者在 dividend ex-date之前把凭单转换成母股,在 dividend ex-date之前 listed in bursa,则拥有 dividend的享有权。
Earning after taxation = 10m
No. of share issued = 100m
Earning after taxation 2016 = 11.7m
No.of share issued = 120m(20m is conversion of warrant during 2016)
如以上的图表所见,虽然 EAT从 FY15的 10m增加 1.7m至 FY16的 11.7m,或者17%,可是 EPS 依然不升反降。 EPS从 FY15的 RM0.10,降至 RM0.0975,降幅为 2.50%。
所以说当大量的 conversion of warrant时,虽然公司将会增强手上的流动现金(conversion price of warrant),不过 EPS 却会因此而受到巨大的影响。 除非 % growth of EAT > % growth of no. of share issued。
一般上当凭单接近 maturity date时,不想以实行价转换成凭单的股东们将会急于抛售手上的凭单,这就是为什么凭单的股价和母股会双双大幅度下跌。
通常不想转换凭单成母股的股东们是因为没有 premium,或者对公司的前景不太看好,或者所有的利好已经反映在母股的股价上了。
Warrant Premium = [(warrant price + exercise price - current share price) / current share price] * 100
以上就是 bluefun 对于 conversion of warrant的小小分享与见解。
