A current ratio below 1 suggests a company may have challenges meeting its short-term obligations with its short-term assets.
Recent corporate events add to this financial picture. As highlighted by Businesswire, Sherritt’s external auditor, Deloitte LLP, resigned on May 12, 2026. The company is also seeking a court order to continue board functions and delay its shareholder meeting in response to an Executive Order from the U.S. administration that expanded sanctions against Cuba.
Amid these challenges, Sherritt announced a non-binding term sheet with Gillon Capital, LLC for a proposed private placement. As highlighted by Businesswire, the deal involves a warrant that, if fully exercised, would give Gillon Capital 55% ownership of Sherritt’s common shares. The warrant is exercisable for nine months after the deal closes.
