In this case Lexaria Bioscience's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lexaria Bioscience shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1191% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lexaria Bioscience shares, roughly 119 shares are currently held short).
