Actually Rick the Vet converted some early and sold some as he reported here on this forum. I would have liked to have seen the maturity date extended but that didn't happen.
Part of the due diligence anyone does when they look at buying a stock is to pay attention to when shares could be expected to hit the market from the exercise of warrants or or the end of a hold period or in this case the converts. I expect that is part of the reason the company has started doing investor conferences again.
I believe it is all very temporary. And that the art of issuing discretionary news at the right time will be here before we know it.
