I was wondering when you were going to catch that about the LLC. In fact, I thought that is where you would pounce, as opposed to the Preferred Share bit. :)
Your question is a good one and I have no answer because it is new to me as well. Its in the documents clear as day, and now in the PR. If LLC's can sell Preferred stock, shoot, I've got a couple of my own that I need to start taking investors for (though I am considering starting a REIT).
