JC: re shorting discussion on yahoo

Terms state that the variable pricing on
conversion of perfered to common is ONLY
available 1 year AFTER 1st closing.
That term goes down to 6 mo. if PO are not
announced within 6 mo.

For now, no possibility for holder to short
and convert and a depressed price.
Their conversion price is FIXED for now.
If no PO within 6 mo. then nothing stops
them from pursuing that strategy.

As long as po comes in we're cool. Some very
big risks if not. Think that indicates 100%
confidence by LD & Co. that PO will be in
hand within 6 mo.

I believe the above discussion covers the ONLY
reason that this particular instance of variable
conversion should not pose undue risks of very
unfavorable dilution. I don't see anything else
in the terms which would avoid the risk.
