Timothy -

Did you notice the paragraph in the Press Release:

---------------------------------------------------------------
The investors have agreed not to enter into certain short sales of the company's common stock for a period of 300 days from the closing date.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Usually these convertible deals are the kiss of death. The hedge fund who gets the convertible, can turn around and short the common setting up a riskless trade, in which they make money no matter what happens to the stock.

But in this case, they have some kind of agreement not to short for 300 days. But just how binding is this agreement? For example, can the hedge fund setup a private agreement with 2nd hedge fund such that the 2nd hedge fund shorts the stock?
