  • Sirius XM Issues 67 Million Shares to Gain Breathing Room  [View article]
    Q. What does this mean?

    A. 30.5 million of the Feb 09 debt has been paid down in exchange for 67,038,070 shares of SIRI at near its current value of 0.38 a share.

    Q. Why would these bondholders agree to convert at this point?

    A. The share price of this newly merged company is at a historic low, since these particular bondholders have opted to convert, I am assuming that they feel the share price will increase from hear and they can profit from ownership of the stock.

    Q. How does this bondholder know that the PPS will go up from here, and why would Sirius be so ready to allow a convert when its shares are priced below book value?

    A. The share price is depressed because of uncertainty about the ability to refinance the debt due in 2009. HMMMM If I was a lending institution that just recieved 67 million shares in a company with share prices depressed on worries about debt, I would alleviate those worries and watch my 30 million investment double, triple or better, just by lending more money to Sirius XM. It is like legal inside information!!

    Those are my 1/20th of a siri share (2 cents)!
