RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:On the debtIMO I think ( and hope) that public offering would be the best way to launch the commercial development of their new eco jet design when the proof of concept is completed. In 2- 3 years ?? The best way to both clear the debt and get some reserve funds for serious development. Hopefully with a well established partner. Most likely US ? After 2025 I think that Martel will be eager to take real challenge and leave his mark on the industry. This guy didn't reduce its R&D without reason. GLTA.

Like I said. a more viable option now than before

The LTD is going down $4B by then of 2024. By the end of 2025 we'll probably get down to to $3B LTD. Our payments yearly will go $250M. Why should we get diluted. We paid the heftiest price with this RS last year, we don't need this dilution too. JMHO.

Dilution would be a minimal factor if all the money was put towards the debt as the book value per share would remain theoretically the same. Less and less incentive needed to participate. A convertible offering would also be possible IMO.
2023 into 2024, all things equal , would be a possible timeline IMO.
They are having to pay a fee now for the buy backs

So at this time, we would get diluted with a public offering. So I don't see the need. If at the end of 2022 the LTD is unmanageable then I would revisit the offering option.

I would think the participation interest would be way up there considering what has been happening with much less effect on dilution.
may be more of a possibility assuming this continues.
