Q: I noticed that Knight Therapeutics (GUD) is lending Synergy Strips Corp $6M. As part of this deal, Knight will receive 15% interest on the loan, and get a 10-year warrant to purchase 3.5 million shares of Synergy at $0.34 a share. Synergy shares are currently trading at $0.425

My potentially easy question is: what does Synergy get out of this besides the loan? Do they get any corporate knowledge from Knight? 15% interest and a 10 year warrant to buy shares at a (potentially significant) discount seems like a really bad deal for Synergy, and a fantastic deal for Knight. What am I missing here? Couldn't Synergy just go to a bank for a loan?
