03/14 high (-22% from high today). PFcash=215m, debt=193m (82m of 6% CB sub to new CB), LTMebitda=(91m), fcf=(82m). Existing 6% came 01/13 & traded very well (went out ~169 vs cls).Brw ~6% but

this is not really a factor given the amount of l/only demand

(as we saw w/6%) that w/exist. No brw = no model BUT we’d assume

L+900 for reference. Stk off high’s (-7% today alone), x/over &

obv l/only demand (ability to restrike @ par),small issue,strong optics, good story etc etc = no trouble getting placed.
