Mike, CFO Jay La Marche returned my call this morning. I didn't have a chance to ask the questions you posed, as I was runnning late for a tennis encounter.
He did explain the redemption feature of the class C preferred, which I suppose most of you already understood. The common issued on conversion may be redeemed at the conversion price if less than $1.95. I neglected to ask how long the company has to exercise the redemption after a demand for conversion. La Marche said the company has no existing arrangement with any outside source to finance such a redemption.
I asked some questions about a possible acquisition of the company. He, of course, parried my questions. Nevertheless, I am convinced, if the science is good, there are bigger companies which would pay a premium of the market cap to buy Ariad, so there must have been some discussions.
