The preferreds are the BEST thing for COPI sharesholders that could possibly happen and I see you missed posting the part about convertible into RESTRICTED shares... But bashers always seem to miss that point, lol..so I will post it for you now..
Each of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, at any time, into 100 restricted shares of the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (subject to adjustment). There were no underwriters or other brokers, agents or finders utilized by the Corporation, nor did the Corporation incur any underwriting discounts or commissions or similar fees, in connection with the sale of such shares of Serial Preferred Stock.
Hello extra...I've just finished reading all of your posts on COPI and have a question for you.
1. If in fact, you are part of a large hedge fund that is about to short COPI, why would you talk it down now? Wouldn't it make better sense to simply stay quiet until after the stock pops and the short is acquired?
Regarding preferred shares:
The shares weren't given away to its best insider friends.
1. 44% (Serial A Preferred)of them were sold at $1 per share to accredited investors in exchange for cash.
Most people I know that buy preferred shares are in to hold the stock long term. They generally aren't the type to convert and sell for pennies asap.
2. 22% (Serial B Preferred)were sold to 2 affiliates at a price of $1 per share in exchange for cancellation of debt. I doubt these two individuals are going to dump their shares anytime soon. They lent the money because they believed in the company when it was very risky to do so. They'll want to stick around and reap the benefits.
3. 33% (Serial C Preferred)were sold to six persons and entities, including 3 affiliates of the company for a share price of $1 per share in exchange for cancellation of debt.
The entity recieving shares here is the only one that may sell off shares anytime soon. And, they only hold a % of 33% of the outstanding preferred shares.
The bottom line is that most of the preferred shares are in hands of affiliates that are fully aware of the long term potential and aren't in desperate straits to sell. The entity that originally loaned money also knows what they are holding and I doubt they will convert and sell right away.
It is possible they will convert, but to hold, not sell. They will make much more money years down the road rather than selling now.
Btw, no stock goes straight up or down. We can have opposite positions and still be green. It's all a matter of entry and exit points. ;) I just feel being short is a bit of a gamble here unless it is a quick flip. The overall trend is up. Don't buck the trend for the long haul on a growing company like this.
Please don't forget to answer my question from up top.
I wish you the best of luck in your trading, as I'm sure you wish me luck. ;)
