RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RBC Target is 32.12 CanadianAopologies for the cryptic message below from earlier. Writing on the go to keep up with the full time short and distort gang. My point was that the Cinven payment was set in GBP and half of that 144 GBP at current exchange rate= $96USD, which is what the company would have to pay this year if they defer the other half to next year. If they do that, they likely will end the year with $150 to $165 USD of cash on hand.

So if they defer and pay there earn out based on current exchange rate, that is what they would have to pay and $120M.
