Probably means that your debit, negative value of whatever, is a negative percentage as compared to equity, value, in whatever.

Say you owned a home that you own free and clear and you put big bucks into it and expected it's value, equity, to be greater than the money you put in ( or the same value ) Then this crash came along and your home lost value and if you sold it you would be down - 345 percent of the equity. Bad example,but somewhat telling.

What is a shelf prospectus?

A shelf prospectus is a prospectus you file that has no particular deal attached to it. You are expected to act on it within the next two years. This is very common for debt but not common for equity. The main reason it isn't widely used for equity is due to the signaling effect that would occur when the market discovered that a firm was planning on issuing more equity. i.e. it would mean dilution which would decrease stock price. Debt can't be diluted so there isn't the same associated signaling effect to the market.
