You are correct. The conversion price was determined based on the average price. Once the determination date was hit AGPH started trading in direct proportion to WLA's moves off the average price. However, I thought that the proxy was quite confusing and can see how folks got it wrong.
I also want to thank the posters who made this thread one of the best on SI. In hindsight it looks like AGPH was an easy bet when it traded in the twenties 9 months ago. In reality it took guts as the shorts and some analysts argued that Sustiva was the end of Viracept. They were wrong.
Thanks.
