Preferably, this investment can be structured in a way that does not trigger a conversion of the issued convertible notes, as most angels prefer to wait for a proper "institutional" qualified financing round that includes senior rights.
Here's the problem with that: Advertising on iOS is big business, and part of that big business involves being able to monitor the success of campaigns at the level of the individual user, in order to be able to provide ad content more likely to trigger a conversion or sale for that particular person.
That's why the best way for Tesla to lift its share price high enough to trigger a conversion and save $920 million is to prove that Model 3 sales continue to grow and costs are being kept low enough to produce a healthy profit.
It may seem unlikely that an old, bedraggled and nowadays not much appreciated philosophy such as utilitarianism could be the trigger for a conversion experience, but that is what seems to have happened in the case of Joshua Greene.
Unfortunately, the price they were willing to pay for the company was less than the principal amount of the convertible notes that the company raised in its bridge financings — and far less than the thresholds that would trigger an automatic conversion of the preferred stock that would avoid the requirement that the preferred stockholders consent to the transaction.
Indeed, a similar temperature and pH in vitro can trigger an extracellular conversion of promastigotes to so-called axenic amastigotes, an in vitro stage that is frequently used experimentally instead of intracellular amastigotes (Zilberstein and Shapira, 1994; Krobitsch et al., 1998; Saar et al., 1998; Barak et al., 2005; Rosenzweig et al., 2008).
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 inhibitor SU541 in combination with high doses of chemotherapeutic drugs (especially gemcitabine and cisplatin) recently triggered a procoagulant conversion of ECs in vitro (as measured by dramatic increases in their surface TFPI expression (ie, the coagulation index).
The spectral signals were continuously digitized by triggering an AD conversion board.
Co-cultures of normal human fibroblasts and MCF7 cells indicate that cancer cells use oxidative stress as a weapon to trigger the conversion of adjacent fibroblasts into myo-fibroblasts [ 69].
If the rattled and insecure Iranian leadership is lying when it says it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, or if it undergoes a conversion from that position (triggered perhaps by an Israeli air strike), it will find, like all other nuclear-armed states, that the bombs are essentially useless and a considerable waste of time, effort, money and scientific talent.
The quantitative determination of the amounts of oxidized protein, the relevance of the in vitro experimental conditions to the in vivo situation and of this factor as a trigger for pathogenic conversion, are still open issues that need to be further investigated at the mechanistic, biochemical and structural levels.
