>LFB still owns 115 preferred shares, so GTC may not eliminate the Series D preferred class
Are you sure about that? It has been a while but I was once
a preferred shareholder in a death spiral who got handed his
head by the common shareholders because I managed to euchre
them. Perhaps the point hinges on the tacit assumption of
(common) shareholder consent. It is correct, and proper,
that the rights of one class of equity cannot be unilaterally
undermined by the actions of another, but on information and
belief voting equity can indeed act en masse to reconfigure
its internal relations.

"If LFB has converted its preferred shares in order to facilitate a deal, which is the most plausible explanation"

All the signs seem to point to a deal to be announced soon. The question is whether the deal is with LFB or another entity. Is LFB capable of handling the sales and marketing of ATryn in the US? I seem to recall that you once negated that idea on the basis that LFB does not have a sales force in the US...

Dew, Have been away with the kids this week (lots of mickey mouse and no goats). Can't quite get my arms around the LFB conversion of preferred to common stock. Why would they do that and what just it mean and what does it auger? Thanks in advance if you can clarify this for me. bp
