RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Just a thoughtYou are right.
And if ATE holds tight, here's what likely happens (assuming a full buyout attempt) ...
1. Big Pharma low balls the value of ATE in private discussions.
2. ATE points to the research papers they paid for - showing annual sales potential.
Something we haven't heard much of ... ATE also argues the value of their patents and shows BP how new patents are on the way and ATB-340 (in parallel with a new molecule) will clearly demonstate how you get new IP to extend out 20 years for follow-on design and patent protection.
3. There's a leak that BP is looking to buy ATE and the stock starts to climb.
3. BP makes an offer and the share price rises.
4. ATE indicates they are not interested in the offer as it doesn't represent the fair value for the business.
5. ATE stock price continues to rise and settles where the market guesses the true value is.
6. Other BP start pushing the pencil - to see if they can get in the game.
7. The share price continues to rise on speculation.
8. A second offer comes in ... and the real negotiations begin.
-----------------------
That's why we need Wallace/Legault to still have control over a large number of shares - and - we need lots of other shareholders to take their side in such a battle for the businesss.
We want the market to force the price on speculation ... if it doesn't want to cooperate and go there alone.
Something like that - just my opinion on one way it could happen.
