Boyd did not name any formal underwriters in the filing. The use ofproceeds was also the traditional "for general corporate purposes."
Boyd has endured a very tough year and in a very tough economy that isexpected to only get tougher. Shares are up marginally today by morethan 1%. But at $4.09, they are still down well over 80% from their highs. Its market cap is only about $360million.
