Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NaaS Technology Inc. issued a warrant to LMR Multi-Strategy Master Fund Limited on August 8, 2025 that becomes exercisable if the Company’s market capitalization, calculated using the 20-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP), reaches at least US$90 million. If exercised, the Warrant entitles LMR to subscribe for a number of Class A ordinary shares representing 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital on the initial exercise date; the Warrant is exercisable in whole but not in part and remains exercisable until June 4, 2035. The aggregate exercise price is to be satisfied by the waiver and cancellation of certain indebtedness owed by the Company to LMR under rescheduling documents (excluding the rescheduled payments).

The Company retains the right to redeem the Warrant or any Warrant Shares (including ADSs) at its discretion prior to June 4, 2035, in whole or in installments, for an aggregate redemption price of US$11 million if on or before the third anniversary of issuance, or US$19 million if thereafter and before termination. The report includes standard forward-looking statements and is incorporated by reference into the Company’s Form F-3 registration statement.

Positive

  • Exercise settled by debt waiver/cancellation: the aggregate exercise consideration is to be satisfied by waiver and cancellation of certain indebtedness owed by the Company to LMR.
  • Company redemption right: NaaS may redeem the Warrant or Warrant Shares at its discretion prior to June 4, 2035 with specified aggregate prices of $11 million (on or before the third anniversary) or $19 million (thereafter).

Negative

  • Potential dilution of 10%: the Warrant would convert into shares representing 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital on the initial exercise date if exercised.
  • Contingent trigger tied to market cap: exercise requires the Company’s market capitalization, measured by 20-day VWAP, to reach at least $90 million, creating uncertainty on timing and shareholder impact.

Insights

TL;DR: Warrant grants LMR up to 10% equity upon a $90M VWAP trigger; exercise offsets certain debt, with company redemption rights.

The Warrant is a contingent equity instrument that could convert into a stake equal to 10% of issued share capital upon meeting a $90 million market-cap threshold measured by a 20-day VWAP; exercise is all-or-nothing and can be settled by cancelling specified indebtedness owed to LMR. From a capital-structure perspective, this reduces reported debt if exercised but also creates potential dilution. The Company’s unilateral redemption feature with specified aggregate prices ($11M within three years, $19M thereafter) gives management timing control over whether the Warrant remains outstanding.

TL;DR: Contractual terms give LMR a material conversion right while preserving corporate control via redemption provisions.

The Deed-created Warrant establishes a significant contingent shareholder right—conversion into 10% of issued shares on the initial exercise date—subject to a clearly defined market-cap trigger. Exercise consideration is structured as a debt waiver and cancellation under rescheduling documents, which directly affects creditor relationships. The Company’s contractual redemption option and the all-or-nothing exercise condition are governance levers that affect dilution timing and stakeholder outcomes.
