Seems like they pretty much have to have the loans in place within the next few weeks otherwise they're in a real tight spot. No one would approve massive dilution to get funds to complete the expansion, plus construction would likely be delayed at least a month (probably a quarter) if they don't get additional funds before the meeting. Not sure if the Sept 12th date will be the true deadline for releasing the news, but they better do it soon or the share price will really start to suffer. They can't afford to let the share price decrease back to the .01s as they would have to drop the conversion price back to 0.005 (or less) to make a deal lucrative enough for Chasman (or anyone else) to bite. Hate to say it, but 3 billion shares wouldn't be enough to get the expansions completed at those prices.
I'm not in favor of any dilution, but this really points to the loans being a done deal. Without the loans, they will have to work to get enough votes to have the SH meeting take place (877M - majority as stated in proxy pg. 2) and then have enough yes votes to get it through.
Just my opinion...
