How This Trade Works

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the OXLC reverse split arbitrage works using Oxford Lane Capital Corp's actual numbers.

1

Buy 4 shares of OXLC

Purchase 4 shares at $0.24 each. Total cost: $0.96. You need exactly 4 shares because the split ratio is 1:5.

2

The 1:5 reverse split executes

Your 4 shares are consolidated at the 1:5 ratio. Since 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8000, you end up with a fractional share of 0.8000 post-split shares.

3

Fractional share rounds up to 1 full share

Because Oxford Lane Capital Corp rounds up fractional shares, your 0.8000 shares become 1 full share worth $1.20.

4

Sell for profit

Sell your 1 post-split share at $1.20. You paid $0.96 and received $1.20.

Risk Factors

⚠

Penny Stock Volatility

OXLC trades at $0.24 per share, classifying it as a penny stock. Penny stocks are subject to extreme price swings, low institutional coverage, and higher spreads. The share price could drop significantly between your purchase and the split execution date.

⚠

Liquidity Risk

At $0.24 per share, OXLC may have limited trading volume and wide bid-ask spreads. This can make it difficult to enter or exit your position at your desired price, potentially reducing your actual profit.
