Tim,

How do you think debt service on $300Mil will impact earnings going forward?

The convertibility feature allows AOL to borrow money at below market rates for non-convertible debt. The bond purchasers will short the stock and use the money received, safe in the knowledge that they can convert at the convertible strike price. This is a strong short-term negative for the stock. Wonder if this is why the CEO and CFO sold so much stock in September?
