The parallels start and end at the companies having convertible bonds. Premier is saddled with debt while Sirius remains yet some distance from being revenue producing.
HUR though, should be producing material cashflow within 12 months (if they aren't the bonds will be the least of our worries) and the cashflow is such that if HUR desired they could redeem any bond holder wishing to convert. Additionally, if the EPS is producing the cashflow the shareprice will likely have but a distant relationship to the conversion price as it will have gone a significant way to providing assurance on the Fractured Basement strategy and hence the commerciality of a large chunk of 2C (by my reckoning most of Lancaster and some of Halifax will be ripe for conversion to 2P by mid next year through drilling a 3rd well at the outer technical reaches of the FPSO range). Not only this the va;ue ascrived to the 2C would be significantly greater than is currently the case.
This is not a blind ramp as I mention if we don't prodcuce the oil, we don't produce the revenue but barring the real disaster like scenarios we are not in the position of Premier/Sirius.
