Yes agreed. The upside of the funding buy in, if you can tolerate a 6 month wait on the restriction and gamble it will exceed the .21 strike, is the 33% bonus in shares...not to mention a higher tax cost basis.
The other thing that ought to happen is the stock migrates to the offering price, but that usually happens under normal raises below current market.
Will be interesting to see if it works in reverse.
