Occidental today announced an offer to exercise its outstanding publicly traded warrants (the “Warrants”) at a temporarily reduced price (the “Offer”).

The Offer is available to holders of the Warrants, each representing the right to purchase one share of Occidental’s common stock, $0.20 par value per share, at an exercise price of $22.00. The Warrants were initially distributed by Occidental on August 3, 2020 in the form of a dividend to the holders of record of Occidental’s common stock as of July 6, 2020 and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “OXY WS”. Warrant holders (the “Holders”) have the opportunity to exercise each of their Warrants at a temporarily reduced exercise price of $21.30.

Any warrant holders on this board taking up this offer?

The warrants usually trade in lock step with the stock usually about $0.20 premium to the stock. That’s an extremely low premium compared to the longest trading call option.

Warrant holder here.
I feel this idea is very smart. Maybe somehow this will get some arbitrage guys to buy warrants and exercise them? The key is OXY is getting cash earlier than 2027/28 and can use it to pay down debt.

Wondering if this is web’s idea

Warrants have anti dilution adjustment provisions which can lower exercise price or increase number of shares.

https://www.oxy.com/siteassets/documents/investors...

So far none have been triggered. This is a voluntary adjustment. I wonder if any of the anti dilution provisions will be triggered between now and Aug 2027 which could lower exercise price.

Also will this have any effect on warrants Berkshire owns which have their own separate anti dilution provisions. Will OXY be forced to redeem them proportionally?

Does this mean that Berkshire will exercise today at $22/share rather than sometime in the future at $59.62?

Berkshire sold all its 2020 warrants ( in lieu of dividends) as soon as they received them.

The warrants they own are earlier ones which were issued in 2019 to finance Anadarko acquisition.
