What happened
Shares of
Triterras (NASDAQ:TRIT) have soared today, up by 14% as of 12:20 p.m. EST, after the company announced that CEO Srinivas Koneru is planning to purchase more shares in the open market. Triterras also moved a previously announced conference call to tomorrow.
So what
Triterras shares tanked last week after it disclosed that a creditor was pushing an important Triterras customer, Rhodium Resources, to restructure. Both Triterras and Rhodium were founded by Koneru, and Rhodium has been "instrumental" in launching Triterras' Kratos service, a blockchain-based digital platform for trading commodities and securing financing. Triterras went public in November after merging with special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Netfin.
