It doesn't really work like that
The noteholders always have a 4.99% or 9.99% Beneficial Ownership limit
In other words, they usually cannot convert their notes in full (I've no idea what the conversion terms are, because it isn't disclosed in the filling and I've got no reply from the company, thus far)
If CEOs were to wait until these guys are finished before releasing a PR, it would take forever before we see one.
The issue is not when the notes get converted but rather when the shares are deposited at the DTC
Held at DTC = TRUE FLOAT
Increase in DTC = TRUE DILUTION (that DIRECTLY affects the way the stock trades)
I would be EXTREMELY surprised if the Held at DTC doesn't increase significantly on the next Transfer Agent update.
Whoever has been selling through OTCN these past weeks has been a total jerk... I've hardly ever seen such agressive selling
OTCN selling can come from noteholders selling from dilution, could be from shorting or in theory (but given how agressive it is, I doubt) could be a retail seller using Interactive Broker (I've been told by some IBKR customers that they happen to route their orders through OTCN and OTCX, sometimes)
