Would you still be OK switching even if selling GRID would result in a capital gain? (Note: the gain would be offset by previous year losses)

Q: Dear 5i,
I initiated a small position in Zedcore based on your prior recommendations after the Amazon competition threat decreased ZDC’s price - thanks for the timely evaluation. After a short ‘test-drive’ I am considering adding to it. I’d appreciate your take on the bought deal closing Feb 27. Can you explain why the underwriters are paying a premium to the current share price? Also, has the company outlined how it will deploy the $30 million and what is your take on the impact of this new spend on future growth. Thanks for helping me discover these ‘small’ growth companies (Can-PNG! US-NBIS!).
Sincerely, another very happy 5i member
