I am a bit surprised by this move, and not sure I am entirely clear on the rationale for it. 

1. From a debt perspective, aren’t they just issuing other debt (new notes) to pay for the redemption of the debentures? At similar or higher interest rates? 
2. From an equity perspective, debentureholders can still convert to shares (so they might prevent some future dilution by redeeming the debentures now, but it really depends on how many people would convert to shares).

What are the benefits of this to the company? And why do it right now?

Yes i dont know why people are saying they are eliminating interest payments?  The new notes will be payed 8% now and then go up to 9%, 10% and 12%  over the next few years so the interest payment will be higher than the current 8%

The new notes used to pay for the converted debentures will be funded SOLELY by certain Insiders of the company.

So basically it appears that certain insiders of the company  who are funding the new notes want to get the 8,9,10 and 12% interest payments by financing the new notes.  That appears to be the rational from what i can tell.

Depending on how many convert their shares the new notes  will actually end up costing CJ more in interest payments than they are currently paying and give the insiders a nice interest rate payment. Of course the insiders are taking a risk in that if oil prices collapse again CJ may not have the money to pay the note holders. And the new notes are subordinated and unsecured and non convertible. Seems like a pretty good odds of an  investment for the insiders at those interest rates.

Unless i am misssing something i cant really see any other benefit to the company or its shareholders.
