LOL Try to control your schoolgirl glee! Projecting prices forward several days when the stock is up 1/8 and the day is not even over sounds as though someone is getting pretty emotional - emotional enough to lose sight. ; ) Thats my bet - klemencic's emotional glee is making him too dizzy to think clearly.

"This really puts the pressure on the selling coalition... Hey guys, the ball's in your court, get out there and short!!"

In all seriousness, one significant point that our myopic friend is missing is that there is no pressure to convert until VLNC produces. A few days of upticks is hardly a reason, let alone "pressure." If CC believes VLNC is for real, the possibility of "losing" 12,500 shares is a drop in the bucket. Don't believe me? Then go ask wolanchuk/kellett/mooter775. They'll tell you! Why, the ten time market timer of the universe has been reported as calling for VLNC stock to be at $100 by 11/99. ; ) There you go.

The bottom line: CC has structured the deal so that they gain more by waiting. No klemencic, the pressure remains on VLNC and, apparently, on you!

Paul, according to freerealtime, the closing bid was 4 7/8 or 4.875 instead of 4.81 making the conversion scenario a bit more pressing. Is this wrong; do you have a more updated closing bid? Thanks

Updated conversion information

If the closing bids today through Thursday stay above 4.50, then the
conversion price will begin to go up. The August 26 closing bid of
4.50 becomes stale on Thursday, and CC will have to convert prior to
one minute before noon ET Friday to get the lowest conversion price.

Here are the closing bids for the last ten days, and a forecast what
will happen if the closing bid remains at 4 7/8 through Friday:

Date Bid Conversion price
23-Aug 4.8750 5.1026
24-Aug 4.7500 4.9974
25-Aug 4.5625 4.8711
26-Aug 4.5000 4.7607
27-Aug 4.3125 4.6344
30-Aug 4.3438 4.5450
31-Aug 4.3125 4.4714
1-Sep 4.2500 4.4240
2-Sep 4.5625 4.4240
3-Sep 4.6875 4.4240
7-Sep 4.8750 4.4240

Forecast if bid remains unchanged from current bid:

Date Bid Conversion price Shares Shares Lost Each Day
8-Sep 4.8750 4.4240 1,771,600 0
9-Sep 4.8750 4.4240 1,771,600 0
10-Sep 4.8750 4.4556 1,759,000 12,600
13-Sep 4.8750 4.5503 1,722,400 36,600
14-Sep 4.8750 4.6397 1,689,200 33,200
15-Sep 4.8750 4.7344 1,655,400 33,800
16-Sep 4.8750 4.8396 1,619,500 35,900
17-Sep 4.8750 4.8922 1,602,000 17,500

If CC doesn't convert in this period, under these conditions, they
stand to lose a total of 170,000 shares worth about $825,000 at
today's close. By comparison, the current face value of the
convertible preferred is about $7,840,000.
