Did you read the same press release I did? The way I read it they're buying an undisclosed number of shares at an undetermined price. Plus they get warrants exercisable at $10.04.

You are correct. From the PR: "The number of shares of common stock are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances." Have to wait for the 8-K or S-3 to get the details.

Now, how do call such an instrument in our usual language?

<< Did you read the same press release I did? The way I read it they're buying an undisclosed number of shares at an undetermined price. Plus they get warrants exercisable at $10.04. >>>

Uh oh, " a private sale of shares of common stock and warrants to
two institutional investors. The funds will be used for working capital. ..."

So, the really keep it simple. Usually a nice conv. bond with a $x million notional is printed out. Here, they directly buy an indefinite number of stocks. They did not forget to garner it with a warrant.

"certain conditions" this extremely favorable well known term reminds me on a bunch of S-3s I went through.

C.

PS.: Now may we call conv. debt or not?
