Preferred shareholders stand in front of the line.

Preferred stock has a claim on liquidation proceeds of a stock corporation, equivalent to its par or liquidation value. This claim is senior to that of common stock, which has only a residual claim.

As to conversion, that's what "poison pills" are. In the event of liquidation all preferreds are converted prior to liquidation.

That's the way things are, as a long I wish it wasn't.

Until I see it in a "legal filing" as an exception to the norm, I'm assuming it's the case here as well.

tharmon51.. Your "Apparently, yes, Charles can convert his 3.5 million preferred shares to 10.5 million common shares at any time, regardless of whether (or not) the R/S passes"

Not sure as there is not enough treasury shares (A/S) available unless it is increased with a proxy vote..

G/L anyway.
