>>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.

Hi Michael,

How is the above true, given that the converts carry a cash make-whole clause that remains in force for the first three years? I have always assumed that AMZN wouldn't be interested in forcing conversion until after the first 3 years, but I haven't studied the deal closely.
