So, Pathfinder Cell's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Pathfinder Cell Therapy sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Pathfinder to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Pathfinder Cell's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
