Very possible. It is very difficult to deny the connection between the two companies, but as of now, I don't think there is anything "official".
For my previous comments, I don't think that the raising of capital is a bad thing at all, and I'd rather they directly issue shares rather than go through toxic financing. I was mostly commenting on the fact that the shares (however many) are more than likely going to be sold, this wasn't just a move to up the allowed shares for no reason at all.
