**********************
To pay off preferred shares we must pay off the Dividends and Interest due and then pay down the number of preferred shares.
To Minimize the dilution JJNICL will work with Liberty -
JJNICL will work with Liberty to minimize the common share dilution resulting from the conversion of
preferred shares into common shares as much as is feasible once the Corporation is in full production.
This has meant Liberty has been able to get Lines of Credit with JJNICL vice going to the market in which case JJNICL would have converted the equiv # of shares that Lbe would have issued to raise Capital.
To redeem shares Lbe must reimb JJNICL the equiv of a 20% rate of return which I read as $0.132 per share at a mutually agreed upon time. I do not read the May 2011 as a drop down date that everything must be redeemed.
Anyone have any thoughts?
