iconoclast - That statement is trying to avoid a Death Spiral. The news release stated that they were allowed to convert to shares according to the 5 day average price if below the $2.54 price. That would mean that if the price dropped to say $0.05, they could convert the $12 million for 240 million shares. That is a Death Spiral. This clause would limit their conversion at a super low price like $0.05 to about 52 million shares or about 17% rather than almost 50%. Debentures can be a scary way to raise money and I hope they find a way out of it as soon as possible but it is a minimum of 2 1/2 months to redeem and only if ORI agrees.
This information comes from the Convertible Debenture agreement on page 6.
ARTICLE 3 CONVERSION
