The increase in the short number is ENTIRELY due to the private placement. Management in my conversations with them did not understand why anyone would short a stock at 21-23 when the deal has a conversion at 27 and change. The reason is that that 5% is a below market yield for a junk bond so people short the stock in anticipation of the price dropping.
