bad news for soda stream.s the news -- what has been sort of -- what's the contract between coke and green mountain, in terms of can they increase their stake? can they not increase their stake? and is there, down the road, a mechanism? some sort of mechanism for them to buy green mountain? or do they do something with it? nothing with the stock? clearly, there's a business relationship here. >> coke paid what today's market cap close was. they paid 1.25. >> you would have thought they would have gotten a discount, right? >> a premium. >> it depends what the option is to increase the stake. we don't even know. i do think the innovative element for this is why soda -- why green mountain is getting the premium here. this changes their role dynamically. and it certainly increases their ability to sell products in a way that no one had anticipated. >> we know there's a lot of shorts in the stock. 31% of the shares outstanding are held short right now. a lot of the shorts, the reason they're in as a short is becaus
