I've actually met Brian Taylor before in a previous life when I did research for a hedge fund-of-funds. Pine River is a fairly large player in the equity derivatives space (CBs/warrants). They do a lot of vol arb, but also take outright positions in fundamentally undervalued securities ... I assume that's what their play is here since the warrants are
a) cheap and b) there's zero chance of getting borrow/using the common to delta hedge given the liquidity =)
