The massive dilution (~40.6% to BAT) and elimination of debt create a fundamentally new capital structure. Monitor BAT's strategic direction and potential further capital raises; the company retains pre-emptive rights that could limit future equity issuances without BAT participation. The 18-month share lock-up (until November 2027) and 2-year standstill provide near-term stability.
