RE: Athena is the priority not selling the busines While Athena and the increased production and cash flow are substantial milestones for the company I disagree with you on the selling of the company not being important.
When you have multiple interested parties and are not distressed, that is the time to sell. I would say almost 85% of shareholders would make profit, and at a good % , by a sale of of the company north of 3.50. The company and shareholders are distracted or stalled by this takeover speculation. The company should publicly state a deadline for offers. So lets sell the company at a fair price (3.75-4.25 in my opinion) or lets take us off the market and focus on growth, we cant do both, it breeds uncertainty and the markets always punish uncertainty.
If management can bring good value to a vast majority of shareholders in a short period of time they must do exactly that.
