<<They would do such a move vs. repurchasing stock only if there is a significant loss to offset such a gain.

Since the street is expecting a loss of about 2MM this quarter, the company seems to be offsetting a much larger loss with their 4.7MM gain on the debt repurchase.>>

MRVC took a $53 million restructuring charge in Q2. As of now they still have a loss of just under $30 million for the year. They are able to take bond gains, if they can and still show a loss for the year. IMO, This has nothing to do with Q4 gain or loss.
