What Drives CEI's Dilution Risk

Frequently Asked Questions: CEI Dilution

What are variable-rate convertible notes and why are they dangerous?

Variable-rate convertible notes (also called 'death spiral' notes or toxic convertibles) allow lenders to convert their notes to equity at a discount to the current stock price. As the stock price falls, the conversion produces more and more shares — which further depresses the price. CEI has used these structures, making the dilution self-reinforcing.

Is CEI on DilutionWatch's watchlist?

Yes — DilutionWatch tracks CEI alongside thousands of other tickers. The live CEI page shows the current dilution score calculated from SEC filings, including any active ATM programs, convertible note balances, and shelf registration capacity.
