RE:Hostile TakeoverEXACTLY... If there is all this complaining that bids or offers are not being heard, just put your number out there! Make a PUBLIC offer and let the dust settle with whoever pays the highest price and takes on the TOTAL liabilities and accumulated tax benefits... all this bickering behind private doors on who will get 10% of a multi billion dollar company and non-disclosure to wipe out equity value, shorting the stock to bring a lower debt to equity swap...... meanwhile press is leaking stories to help whoever's position pays for the article with no accountability at all.... I thought a company of this size that made a move in December to acquire Talisman block when they were further on the ropes with a great deal....would not have shaken out like this.
