From this:

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helu isn't just one of The New York Times Co.'s creditors anymore -- he's now one of their biggest stockholders, according to a Security and Exchange Commission filing Friday... Slim exercised warrants for 15.9 million in Class A shares for a strike price of $6.3572 through his companies Inmobiliaria and GFI, raising his stake in the Times Co. to 16.3% from 6.9% at the time he was approached to loan a substantial sum to the venerable publisher... Slim got the warrants in January 2009 when he lent the Times Co. $250 million. The company said that that he would not be joining the board. The Class A common shares he bought is publicly traded stock, not the super-voting shares that gives the Ochs and Sulzberger family control of the company.
