RE: Separate TransactionNot quite a gypsy swap. Normally a gypsy swap involves one party selling shares of a given nature to another party and buying back the same number of shares (often of a different nature) from another party which often is the company's treasury (through a placement or whatever).
This transaction here sounds more like someone wanted to hedge their bet as a condition for their investment that will be locked up for the said period. Guess you will know who's dumping if the price rises (they will get their shares from the PP anyway and so can pay back treasury and keep the profit to offset original capital invested - heck they may even short from the crest and double up!). If the stock looks weak, well, it could be ugly. Good outlook though IMO.
