RE:Offering extended or closed?The logical answer is that many people shorted the stock ahead of the settlement of the new issue, which was supposed to be this past Thursday. Millions of shares short have been living on borrowed time. Because the issue didn't close, and has been pushed back a few days, likely many were forced to cover or be subject to a buy-in. You saw some small buy-ins go through yesterday at 0.355 (I think that was the price).
