The latter values each point at less than a half a cent which would be a horrible redemption value. Seems the dynamic part on this route only applies to the upward direction and not when the price goes down.
you're absolutely right that there is no indication at this point. But I am hoping that come 6/1/16 there might. Just trying to keep an optimistic outlook. But again you may very well be right.
