Bad deal for convert debt holders

I own a piece of both series of converts and will be voting against the deal as it currently stands.

As convert holders we dont have the risk of the company going bankrupt on us. If they cant pay me 100c on the dollar in Feb 2016 they will have to convert us into common and we would then have 90% + of the new diluted company. Thats fine as the company is clearly viable with a new capital structure, which debt conversion would bring.

So why would I ever agree to only get 82.5c on the dollar plus some warrants that are worth about 1c.?

Seems to me that equity owners are better off (same NAV/share but they now get a debt free company that should flourish provided management is competent); current ARCAN management is just as well off (they keep their jobs); but the debenture holder is giving up 17% in maturity value (cash and/or equity payment). Based on risk/reward, it seems to me that the debenture holders are getting a ...more

Agreed Vince - I picked these up late last year.  Why would I vote for this??  Makes no sense for a bondholder to accept this.

+1   Good advice Free.  This offer will be improved in due course.  No need to accept anything as yet.  9 month warrant - they are having a laugh.
