Subj: Wrong S-3 on Yahoo

The recent S-3 mentioned on Yahoo is not the most recent one.
The one here is the one that restricted the preferreds, the
more recent one, mentioned on SI, is for the sale of 18 million
shares of stock by a whole slew of shareholders. Some over
there say that this was planned as a secondary since last
November. Huh? It includes shares from the preferreds, which
weren't even issued last November. I'm confused.

The negative spin is that the rats are filing in to sell so
that they can get off the sinking ship. But how can they hope
to sell 18 million shares without the stock dropping like a
rock? The last 16 million would be worthless. The only way
the rats could leave is if a few hundred thousand were to
be sold by a select few and the others are just a smoke screen.
But I just can't see it. Maybe we are going to get ready for
a secondary offering. Or.....

The positive spin is that the new HR guy arrived on the scene
and nailed down the last points to the TX deal. I suspect this
is more likely, and I suspect that part of that deal is for TX
to take a large stake in Rentech (like 18 million shares).
Thus it is necessary to get those shares from somewhere. In
particular, TX would not want the messy convertible notes or
preferreds to hang around. So they are going to buy them up.
In order to sell the shares to TX, Rentech has to file an S-3
to do so. This is my most likely scenario. Those shares will
be safely tucked away in the TX vault fro all time. Thus we
get the deal and we get fewer Rentech shares in the float!
The best of all worlds!!!!!!

Any other ideas?
