Wrong. The convertible is designed to allow them to participate in much of the upside - over $200.

It is a win, win for them. It is a loser for AMZN that they have no chance of forcing a conversion any time soon. They will now have to make semi annual interest payments of approximately $28 million. Pretty damn bad for a company that is bleeding money already.
