RE:RE:RE:RE:Numbers#7 - Good idea. Amazon did that in 1999. Convertible subordinated notes (we call it convertible debentures up here) with the conversion price at 30% above the normal share price (ie 79 cents for B shares, $1.13 for A shares). 10 years at prevailing T Bill price (4.75% at the time - that would be less than 1% now). Was heavily oversubscribed.
