  1. So it looks like they went with convertibles after all. $1 strike to buy 80% of the shares. I am looking forward to hearing their justification for this - it looks like it just dilutes shareholders with no benefits for the debtholders or the mortgage market that I can see. I could see it if it were a control thing so they could take over if management acted recklessly - but under conservatorship they already have control.
