MSD DealI've been away for awhile and forgive me if the info has already been posted. Can anyone provide the upside to this offer with regards to the following:
- Are MSD's patents relevant or past their prime? Do they overlap Wilans? I understand that 40% of Wilans patents relate to future LTE tech and that future revenue stream, are any of MSD's patents in future tech?
- Does MSD have significant cash that Wilan would inherit? What would future dividend structure for the new company be?
- How would Wilan pay for this purchase, please don't tell me that our shares will be diluted again. What is the perceived cost?
- The cash paid to Wilan after the group of 22 buckled in the first quarter really wasn't very much and we aren't privy to the details. Isn't Wilans' real value to be realized in it's sale to one of the large corps wanting to mitigate patent infringement lawsuit costs? If so, is this extra bundle of patents really beneficial to Wilans growth or value?
Sorry, lots of questions and I'm really confused about Wilans future. I've been in this stock forever.
