It sounds positive, but scanning that list, I notice a lot of companies are long out of business and their shares no longer trade. I would guess it is likely that is true of most of those notes, which is why GPL was still holding them - they can't be converted and the common shares sold.
Which means the cancellation and/or return of those notes is essentially meaningless.
