RE: RE: RE: RE: Question about PPSomebody close to the company had a tax problem, and also would be a big fan of the company looking for a bigger share position. So the investor writes a check, gets a great tax break for 2010, and furthers their position in AOS. The company (which can always use exploration $) gets a few hundred thousand for exploration at 15-20% above current share price. Win-win.
Typically, the company won't have to attach warrants as the tax break is the extra incentive for an investor to buy with a 4 month hold.
