Thanks Jerry for the Bloomberg story. It pertains to trading in STGA more than two years ago. I don't know the details but seems irrelevant to today. Also, the company will change its name to Cucina Classica.

There are no convertibles let alone floorless convertible.
Yes the chart looks like it but the decline is not accompanied by an increase in shares.

The share count has remained constant for the last year and
increased by only a few hundred thousand over the last two
years due to the increase in stock options.

There are 16.5 preferred shares outstanding. They do not
convert into common a far as I know.

They recently voted to authorize an increase in both common
and preferred but claim there is no plan to issue more shares. They seem to be indicating a desire to pursue mergers and acquisitions. Using a 25 or 30 cent stock as
currency seems pointless to me though.

Would appreciate any other info,
Joe

Jerry,

Actually those preferred shares are listed as being convertible but they have been outstanding at 16.5 for at
least three years or so. Each converts into approximately
56 shares.

From 10K ...The Company has reserved, in aggregate, 1,527 common shares for
possible future issuance to Preferred Stockholders in the event of conversion.
At December 31, 1996 there were 16.5 preferred shares outstanding.
