Evergreen Solar (ESLR) shares this morning have extended yesterday’s sharp fall after the company late yesterday held a conference call with the Street on the fallout for the company from yesterday’s Chapter 11 following by Lehman Brothers.
In July, Evergreen issues $373.75 million of convertible notes. In connection with the deal, the company loaned 31 million shares to Lehman Brothers International (Europe) for hedging transactions.
