Art, I have a few questions about your pref. buy-back post.
I expanded your post below, it should be self explanatory:
on or before # shrs $-value Cumulative Remaining Jan 29, 1998 10,000 $250,000 $250,000 $16,625,000 Feb 27, 1998 20,000 $500,000 $750,000 $16,125,000 Mar 31, 1998 40,000 $1,000,000 $1,750,000 $15,125,000 Apr 16, 1998 55,000 $1,375,000 $3,125,000 $13,750,000 Apr 30, 1998 70,000 $1,750,000 $4,875,000 $12,000,000 May 15, 1998 90,000 $2,250,000 $7,125,000 $9,750,000 May 29, 1998 110,000 $2,750,000 $9,875,000 $7,000,000 Jun 15, 1998 130,000 $3,250,000 $13,125,000 $3,750,000 Jun 30, 1998 150,000 $3,750,000 $16,875,000 $0
Each preferred equals $25.
Upto April 16, now, ACTV should have paid back $3,125,000 and still owe $13,750,000.
Questions:
(1) If the stock does go up what options do the pref's have on breaking this agreement?
(2) If the pref's are locked into this deal, wouldn't it be better, or not even matter, for ACTV if the stock price did go up?
(3) Do you know if ACTV is on time with the scheduled payments?
(4) How are they going to pay out the $13,750,000 balance in 2-1/2 months? Where is the money coming from?
(5) Is this the reason they did not announce the eschool contracts?
Excuse me ahead of time if some of these questions seem naive, but I would appreciate it if you could answer them, if you can. |
