it is my understanding that Wanxiang never exercised the warrant.

See article by John Petersen and his response to this question as posed by me.

I appreciate your patience. As you said somewhere above, this is very complicated. I am trying to understand the following:

Does this not give Wanxiang incentive to maintain share value.

No it doesn't. The Form 13D/A Wanxiang filed with the SEC on October 15th is here.

The SEC's beneficial ownership rules require a holder like Wanxaing to report both shares owned, and shares that can be acquired on the exercise of warrants and options.

When Wanxaing made the first bridge loan advances to A123, it got a bridge loan warrant that can be exercised to buy shares one of two ways. Wanxiang can either write a check for the exercise price, or exchange its secured debt for the exercise price. Neither event seems likely until the Bankruptcy is resolved because the secured creditor position is so much more advantageous than the stockholder position.
