Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Arqit Quantum Inc. director-linked entity sells Business Combination Warrants. An entity associated with director Lefebvre d'Ovidio Manfredi, Heritage Assets SCSp, made two open-market sales of Arqit Business Combination Warrants. It sold 110 warrants at $2.0000 per warrant on May 15, 2026 and 106 warrants at $2.0000 per warrant on May 18, 2026, totaling 216 warrants.

Each warrant has an exercise price of $11.50 and can be exercised to purchase 0.04 Arqit ordinary shares after a 25-for-1 reverse stock split. After these sales, the reporting person beneficially owns 607,006 warrants, equivalent to 24,280.24 Arqit ordinary shares on a post-reverse-split basis, so the sales represent a small portion of the overall warrant position.

Business Combination Warrants financial
"Each Business Combination Warrant has an exercise price of $11.50 and can be exercised at any time"
reverse stock split financial
"announced the implementation of a reverse stock split whereby every 25 outstanding ARQQ ordinary shares were consolidated"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
beneficially owns financial
"The reporting person beneficially owns 607,006 Business Combination Warrants, which, if exercised in full, would be equivalent"
Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.
open-market sale financial
"transaction_action": "open-market sale""
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
exercise price financial
"Each Business Combination Warrant has an exercise price of $11.50 and can be exercised at any time"
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.

Explanation of Responses:
1. On September 19, 2024, Arqit Quantum Inc. (ARQQ) announced the implementation of a reverse stock split whereby every 25 outstanding ARQQ ordinary shares were consolidated into one ordinary share, par value $0.0025 per share. Each Business Combination Warrant has an exercise price of $11.50 and can be exercised at any time, at the holder's election, to purchase 0.04 of an ARQQ ordinary share on a post-reverse stock split basis, and cannot be exercised for fractional shares. Accordingly, on a post-reverse stock split basis holders of Business Combination Warrants are required to exercise at least 25 Business Combination Warrants in order to receive one whole ARQQ ordinary share at an aggregate exercise price of $287.50 per whole ARQQ ordinary share. The reporting person beneficially owns 607,006 Business Combination Warrants, which, if exercised in full, would be equivalent to 24,280.24 ARQQ ordinary shares on a post-reverse stock split basis.
