No. The conversion point is at a much higher level. They have kept the bonds and will stay short.

What do you mean by higher level?
The bond holders have the right to convert their bond-holdings to Amzn shares at $156 per share at ANYTIME. However, the auto-conversion will occur if Amzn trades @232 for about 20-30 days. Which means Amzn has the right to force the conversion @232 per shares if the above conditions are met.

Therefore I think that, most of the hedging, if so intended, was done in 4/98 while Amzn was trading far above $156. There was some conversion$$ reported during 4/99's conference call.
