Wish I knew the full answer to your question, Ruth. There are 'A' and 'B' shares, the A being common stock. Usually, the B shares of a stock are 'preferred stock,' which can mean different things for different stocks. I don't know, but I assume (with all that implies) that the preferred shares (TSATB) are treated as convertable bonds.

I'm sorry to not be more helpful, but with any luck there will be someone more knowledgable to post a better answer.

Good trading,

jim
