Peter, the imbalances are cleared by the floorless bandit delivering the newly issued shares to him upon conversion. He does not go into the market to cover (unless it is a "temporary situation to bring the price slightly higher and allow him renewed shorting). This often happens after he convert at 1/10 or lower then his initial shorting position, typically, and of course, the number of shares is typically 10 times the original number of shares contemplated in the original indenture documents.
