RE:Getinge cash and share offer for TOS ?

[GoPats1]

Top shareholders (most shareholders for that matter) would have very little interest in a share swap or partial share swap as part of a TOS bid. A logical reason for an acquisitor to use their stock as currency is twofold: their stock is expensive relative to the target and it allows the target holders to share in the upside of the combined company. Getinge trades near its 52 week low and I would have no interest in owning stock in a company who hasn't righted its ship yet. Getinge is a $4.5B US market cap company. If they want TOS, they will have to pay all cash.
