I was right - the pump was in preparation for a private placement.

Convertibles with a big discount: the fact that they resorted to this method of financing is a sign of a lousy company.

The discount on the conversion price is huge, around 50%. There will be a big incentive for the holders of the convertibles to short the stock and lock in their profit.

Dilution: The 3.2 M shares of new shares that will find there way onto the open market will represent a 33.3% increase in the float. Ouch!
