The 1999 annual report for TVX shows a convertible debt of $220 million due March 2002. If the notes are paid using shares, the formula is 95% of the average share price for the 20 days prior to the due date of these notes. I guess they can use up all their cash balance and borrow $100 million from the Normandy line of credit to pay this off, but this will leave them too heavily in debt to do their Greek projects. They will need a gold bull market to bail them out of this one. What are your thoughts on this debt ?
