RE: One other thing to consider What you are talking about is illegal and very stupid for any company to attempt because all members of the management team and directors would be open to investigation. IAE has been given a price but it is not binding and is subject to conditions that must be explored via due diligence by the acquirer. The price must be enough to get IAE attention and the negotiations are happening over the next few weeks. Once they have binding agreement were the price is agreed on by both parties, then there will be an announcement of the takeover with all the required information for the shareholders.
