A large portion of the new shares will be held by TAE employees, founders, and strategic investors (including Google, Chevron Technology Ventures, NEA, and others). These holders generally have equity incentives tied to the company’s success. Lending their shares for shorting works against that interest. Most of them will not want to shoot themselves in the foot by feeding shares into the lending pool and helping suppress the price. A lower share price makes future equity raises more dilutive and reduces the company’s ability to fund growth (plant construction, expansion, or additional capital) on favorable terms. Their rational incentive is to hold rather than systematically lend while the company still needs a higher price to raise capital efficiently.
