Not sure we are asking the right questions. Why the hell is Arcam/GE raising capital with this convoluted approach. I do not care or worry so much about the short term impact on the stock price .. if any. My ONLY concern is this. Is GE/Arcam raising capital in this way (i.e. creating more shares at discounted prices) for the express purpose of GE being able to further solidify their hold on Arcam?

AS best I can tell, GE pretty much already has complete control over Arcam. My concern is that this convoluted way to raise money for Arcam points to GE looking to squeeze out other Arcam shareholders. If we get to the point that GE owns 85% of Arcam, Eliot 11% and retail investors 4%..then I think we are kind of screwed.

I don't know anything about corp finance. Can anyone offer a reason why Arcam'/GE is raising money in the manner that they have chosen ... that does anything other to potentially benefit GE and the likelihood that GE will eventually be able to force out retail investors?

ps. For folks following MTLS, you may have noticed that they borrowed something like 30 million to finance an acquisition .. at 1% interest. Stock has gone up over 100% in the last year. Arcam/GE finance using an approach that would seem to dilute the shares of a potentially very very valuable company to the detriment of existing shareholders. WHY ... other than to benefit GE?

I am hoping I am missing something, but recent events are making very nervous about GE's intentions. The pressure the new GE CEO is under to show he is doing something doesn't make me feel any better.
