Got it….. Thanks Mike… Reposted below for others….
So bottom line we could once again have a serious lot of unloved/unwanted shares about to land. approx 212$ million ….
As you mentioned here hoping Harbour management are on top of this.

so the shares werent dumped, they were used to settle a bond getting close to redemption
66.6m hbr shares swapped for a $563.5m bond. my *** packet maths suggests thats around $212m or 37.5% of the bonds par value (no doubt less after fees).
given that over 99% accepted the tender, bondholders werent optimistic of getting a better offer in cash. does beg the question if the new holders will need to sell out, or perhaps it might explain the big matched pairs of transactions we have been seeing recently??
