Marshall: Like I said, I'll try to get a more definitive explanation of this in real terminology as opposed to my lame attempts. To me it looks like: OK, we've got 1M shares coming for our $5M if it stays at $5 If we sell 500K over time between $5 and $3 we get $2M cash now. We convert 500K at (now) $2.50 and use them to close out the hedge position. The $2M we got out of the hedge was just covered for $1.25M of the total owed us. Looks too easy, doesn't it? Please add your comments, I'll ask so I can produce a better explanation later on. Okay....so what do they do if the stock rallies instead of going down? drakes353
