Big buyout companyThink about it. If you're a big dog and you see something as innovative as VPT, you have to ask yourself, if VPT becomes standard of care, how long before another technology breaks that SoC? How long have MRIs been SoC? Then the big dogs gotta ask themselves, can we afford not to own VPT? And if that answer is no, then buy it! I'm still guessing the buyer is already in the game, hoping they have a leg up and don't have to bid against giant dogs. Anyone know if Ascend is publicly traded.
