Filtronic shares rocket after inking SpaceX partnership

(Sharecast News) - Filtronic's shares rocketed after announcing that it had entered into a supply agreement with SpaceX. Under the terms of the Strategic Partnership with Elon Musk's outfit, the AIM-listed outfit issued SpaceX roughly 21.7m warrants.

Those warrants would vest once SpaceX had placed £48m-worth of orders with Filtronic and allow it to subscribe for up to 10% of Filtronic's share capital.

Delivery was anticipated to take place in the 2025 financial year with additional order flow expected thereafter.
