Escrow Watch: It's all quiet on the escrow front

Want to know when shares are coming out of escrow? We’ve been keeping tabs, so you don’t have to.

Every two weeks, Stockhead takes a look at the small cap companies that are releasing shares that have been locked away in escrow.

Escrow refers to shares that are held by early investors or directors restrained from selling for a year or two. The release of escrowed shares can have a big impact on stock price, because a sudden influx of stock onto the market can depress the shares you own.

Over the next week it’s relatively quiet, with only a handful of companies releasing shares:

Friday August 16

Pyrolyx (ASX:PLX), 1,208,935 shares

Saturday August 17

Kingwest Resources (ASX:KWR), 4,886,100 shares

Friday August 23

Windlab (ASX:WND), 2,049,724 shares

Saturday August 24

Kingwest Resources (ASX:KWR), 3,068,300 shares
