RE:RE:$3.05 is the set up number for the bid. Mr. Bigger, I'm not a lawyer, but I think "negotiating" a friendly deal is an activity in the normal course of business and does not require the imposition of a black-out period, unless the "negotiation" is at the stage where, for example, a predator has submitted a written non-binding letter proposal to the CEO for "consideration" in which case the matter should be referred to an Independent Committee of the Board and a black-out imposed. AZ have a solid, experienced management team who would know this, so I think it's safe to assume that the process has not yet advanced to the more formal stage. But, along with you and other longs, I'm confident that we'll be at the more formal stage soon. I had a chat last week with the CEO of a mid-size zinc producer, and he mentioned that his team has scoured the globe for advanced stage zinc properties, and found nothing interesting. He says AZ is too big for him to chew off.
