12% Treximet note interest payment due and premium to pay off drops from 106-103%:
Aug 1
(debt restructure news could come soon after)
After Aug 1, company saves 3% on the principal owed on Treximet notes, equating to around $6m in possible savings.
Then company should refund/refinance the existing 12% bonds by purchasing the outstanding bonds at 3% premium above
principal owed at time. After refunding old notes, issue new ones with lower interest rates (4-5%) and better terms.

With recent Q2 Trx data suggesting possibility of revenue approaching $47-50 mil in Q2,
there is high chance of meeting or beating Q2 2015 numbers AND exceeding current street
estimates by an estimated ~$6-10m. EPS probably still negative, but much improved over Q1.
