More simply put
If we go for massive dillution and CMK manages to go back to production and becomes profitable, with the profit from the coal sales it can buy back the shares of its major shareholder, the bond holders who own 2billion shares. The bondholder instead of selling their shares to an outsider, they can sell them to CMK and CMK can buy them back for 25million and destroy the shares, thus reducing the shares outstanding back down to 210million shares. This is an arrangement that keeps everyone happy. The bondholders with their money and the shareholders with the value of their shares undilluted. The only thing that is lost here is time as very rightly Ark 88 pointed out today in one of his blogs.

larryl2, your 8000 new shares would cost you $164.00 not the $1640.00 you stated.

I'm just saying that I don't see the point in purchasing shares after dilution through the bond holder rpogram because you could get them for the same price or even cheaper just by purchasing them on the free market. Anyone will be bale to get cheap shares and you don't have to be part of the bond holders program.
