Right, it can only help, the more leverage the better although Doc's group already has plenty of leverage. But it never hurts to have more.
This is only to support shareholders if the company is trying to f*ck us by intentionally depressing the share price so they can buy up the shares below market value.
If that's not the case, then "no harm, no foul" and we let the company do what they need to do to "increase shareholder value" like Goldfarb said Fong would do when they hired him. I don't want to be in the "something fishy" camp, I still believe in ATRN, but just in case I'm not going down without a fight (and that includes any manipulators who may be right here trying to screw around with shareholders also).
