Zeev - question about MCLL.

They've just entered into a joint venture. Yesterday's press release states "the investors will buy an aggregate total of $30 million worth Series A convertible preferred stock in the venture." It appears the joint venture will be "bankruptcy remote" from MCLL.

As of the last 10K in September, MCLL had long-term debts of some $786M. They're paying 19.5% interest on most of it, indicative of perceived risk; they also have a large working capital deficit. Net operating loss for the whole of 1999 should be around $173M.

Given this information, what are the likely terms of the convertible? Last week and at the time of the deal, the stock was trading around $2; this is what the investors paid. It then surged in three days to 14 and closed today at 11.

Appreciate any views you have on this!
