I think that is a logical answer and were my same thoughts. Buying in the open market can be tough and cause spikes if an order is executed all at once. These could be firms working with the MM's to place their order for x amount of shares on the open market. Since the market maker's job is to make a market out of the share price, they may not want to spike the price because short positions could short it back down fairly easy in my opinion. Also, this almost allows short positions to cover whilte it's moving up instead at some price 50 percent higher all at once. Things are looking good real good.
