VRIO,
The 300 Million Convertible Preferred 6 3/4 % Stock which is being
sold to Institutions,is convertible at 96.5625 shares of VRIO.
So someone has some real confidence that they will make out like
bandits on these Convertibles if VRIO goes up substantially higher than 96.5625.
Or that someone can conveniently bid up VRIO to a price substantially higher than 96.5625.
It is a good thing that VRIO is the world's largest Business Web Host.
This makes it more compelling for VRIO's price to continue it's upward
climb.
In any case,it looks like we Shareholders can't lose.
IMHO,
Manny T.

A Question for a new beginner on convertable preferred

What is the meaning of able to convert to $95/ share? Is the convertible a type of long term stock buy option that allow the holder of the bond to buy the Verio stock at $95/ share.

If that is the case, than those institution holder must see great future and a high premium for Verio stock from today's $82/share price.
