RE:A questionSay if SU hostile takeover failed and COS falls to 6$ (just assumed), SU had x% COS shares they purchased from open market via brokers...SU also had on hand y% COS shares tendered for 0.25 SU deal...It is unlucky x + y < 67 %.. su can't do the 0.25nsu stock exchange for the y% ccos shares if the deal failed.. back to his own x% shares, oops, they will be just like any of cos shareholders suffering a loss of its average cost - 6 $...say if his av cost is 8$ and su has 30m shares, they will have a capital loss of 60 m.... perhaps they might want to keep the 60m cos shares forever and ask for a board director seat like icahn...(haha) 67="" %..="" su="" can't="" do="" the="" 0.25nsu="" stock="" exchange="" for="" the="" y%="" ccos="" shares="" if="" the="" deal="" failed..="" back="" to="" his="" own="" x%="" shares,="" oops,="" they="" will="" be="" just="" like="" any="" of="" cos="" shareholders="" suffering="" a="" loss="" of="" its="" average="" cost="" -="" 6="" $...say="" if="" his="" av="" cost="" is="" 8$="" and="" su="" has="" 30m="" shares,="" they="" will="" have="" a="" capital="" loss="" of="" 60="" m....="" perhaps="" they="" might="" want="" to="" keep="" the="" 60m="" cos="" shares="" forever="" and="" ask="" for="" a="" board="" director="" seat="" like="" icahn...(haha)="">
