If it's a stock buyer, they might have an interest in suppressing PPS if they don't want to pay too much of a premium above current level (i.e., the stock buyer will also buy out all of the debt as well) - so assume:
$63M for debt buyout. 130M shares x .055 cents = $7.2M. Total = $70.2M
Maybe they are only offering say $75M total for the buyout.
If PPS were to run to .25 cents before July 31, that would add a whopping $25M to their potential buyout offer. SO it's in that potential buyer's interest to keep PPS way down.
