Are we trying to catch a falling knife? Thank you.

Q: Siyata (SIM) has been getting some good purchase orders and the shares were finally coming off a low base. Then they announced a $10 million convertible debenture with the convert price at 45 cents for the next two years. I thought with some solid PO's that they could get some bank financing or even facture financing. Instead they did a convertible debenture. What do you think of this move? If the convertible debenture is a good deal for the ones investing who can a small retail guy participate. Do you have to call the finance company that is doing the issue (PI financial, cannacord) and see ask to buy some? If so, do you have to be a client of those firms? I have kept up to date on this company and I like their future but I have to admit that I am disappointed that the stock price got slammed down again.
