APH, TLRY

Hi looks like I am going to a take beating with my APH stock share of1310 , when the deal closes, even if the stock is at $12.00 can. on closing day. I guess I should cash out out before the close.

FROM THE WEB SITE of Aphria …..

How do I calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that I receive?

The value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive on closing in exchange for your Aphria Shares will depend on the trading price of Tilray Shares on the day the transaction is completed. To help you value what you will receive under the transaction for your Aphria Shares, see the example below:

If you bought your Aphria Shares on the TSX, then:

Step 1: Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive

Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive on closing by multiplying the number of Aphria Shares that you own by 0.8381 (which is the exchange ratio).

Step 2: Calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive in US$

Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the value of each Tilray Share, which was US$9.33 based on the closing price of the Tilray Shares on the NASDAQ on December 16, 2020 (the transaction announcement date).

Step 3: Calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive in C$

Multiply the answer from Step 2 by the US$ to C$ foreign exchange rate since the Tilray Shares currently trade in US$. This will give you the value of the Tilray Shares to be received in C$.

As an example, assume that:

The value of each Tilray Share is US$9.33
1 US dollar = 1.2756 Canadian dollar
You own 1,000 Aphria Shares
1,000 Aphria Shares X 0.8381
= 838 Tilray Shares

838 Tilray Shares X US$9.33 per Tilray Share
=US$7,820

US$7,820 X 1.2756
= C$9,970 (or C$9.97 per Aphria Share that you own)

Ok, so the calculations are correct...but be sure to use the market value.

So today - say you own 1000 APHA shares. That would be worth $11,340 in your account as they are trading at CAD$11.34 per share.

You are entitled to 838 Tillray shares as you outlined.

Right now, TLRY is trading at USD $11.76 per share. That gives it a USD Market value of (11.76 * 838) USD$9,854.88.

Using today's exchange rate (1.27), that gives you a CAD market value of ($9,854.88*1.27) = $12,515.70

So what this tells me, APHA is trading at a discount (~9.3%) to the current buyout offer. If you sold out and converted your CAD into USD at the going rate, you would only have USD$8,910 to buy TLRY shares and end up with 757 shares. Of note, that is not including the fees associated with transferring CAD to USD. If you intent on holding TLRY shares, then selling today would likely not be the best course of action.

Yes, I went through the same calculation yesterday. If you're going to stay with the new company, if I've got it correct, you are better to cash out your APHA now and use those funds rebuy into TLRY, rather than wait for the acquisition to close.
