Correction here.
Salas via Dolphin Management purchased 160,000 preferred shares for $16 million over a span of 2 years. This money was then used to expand the business and pay down all debt. These preferred shares earned 9.55% quarterly in terms of their conversion ratio to common shares. At the time they were convertible to something like 21 million common shares, however now they convert to about 66 million shares because of the quarterly interest.
According to the 10K filed in 2007, the preferred shares stop earning interest in August of 2010. Is it just a coinsidence that ACTT started getting their filings up to date with the CO SOS a few months later? No!
Salas will need the share price to get to at least 27 cents per share just to break even
