dotell..The directores have control: The defensive strategy is the series B stock. The series B stock controls the votes, and is *owned only by Harry and Frankie .
I do not think it is a defensive strategy, because the owners of the Series A shares are not principles of the company, they have nothing to do with this company. They basically sold Cyclone their shell company and Cyclone paid them with Series A shares . IMHO
The filing states: The Series A holders are the original equity holders of the LLLP.
*NOTE 9 – PREFERRED STOCK Preferred stock consists of 500,000 Series A Convertible Preferred (“Series A”) and 1,000 Series B Preferred (“Series B”) shares. Series A shares are currently convertible into a number of common shares that, when combined with the 33 million common shares that the Series A holders held as of July 2, 2007, equal sixty percent (60%) of the then total issued and outstanding common shares. The Series A holders are the original equity holders of the LLLP. The conversion of the Series A shares will have the effect of diluting all other common stock shareholders. As of March 31, 2009, the Series A shares were convertible into approximately 46 million shares of common stock. The Series B shares are majority voting shares and are held by senior management. Ownership of the Series B shares assures the holders thereof a 51% voting control over the common stock of the Company. The Series B shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis with the common stock in the instance the Company is merged or sold.

"Thanks for your reply but you've not answered my question. Is this a defensive strategy? or not? Or, put yourself in the place of the directors - why do you think this condition exists?"
