PRTO—The convertible preferred stock is a workaround to allow equity to be sold to existing major shareholders while precluding any other shareholders from attaining a 10% stake in the common shares; from the footnotes of one of the Form-4 filing:
The Series A Stock contains a provision prohibiting conversion to the extent that upon conversion the holder, together with its affiliates and any "group" members, would beneficially own in excess of 9.985% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
“The efficient-market hypothesis may be the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated in any area of human knowledge!”
