The company also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase an additional $20 million principal amount of the Notes.

Presumably they are getting better terms than those for the notes they are retiring. So why would ITMN take an after hours hit of 80 cents? Sheesh.

Cheers, Tuck
