That is a very good point. What I was suggesting is that they were buying the shares back from Asher, or CapEx (if they still have shares).
The counter-argument to that is: why would Asher sell their shares back to ECOS at such a low price, after such great news?
I have no idea...perhaps there was a pre-arranged date that the shares had to be sold by, or maybe ECOS had a clause where they could buy shares back? I have no idea how toxic debt works...
