RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:vote nowell we saw this coming and feared a lowball offer would hit the deck. Here we are.. very dissapointing to say the least . All of the longs here have voiced their displeasure so I wont add to the mix as I feel the same. The only way we beat this is hold onto your shares so we collectively maintain voting control ..assuming the funds holding shares do the same . MKS has 650mm USD in cash .. they can afford to pay more. or offer cash/shares of MKS . I think a biddding war is not very likley as there are not many competitors in the space with the financial clout to pick up PHO . I am suprised that the longest coverage and analysis is the company providing PHO financial advice. Echelon.. I suspect their clients are none too happy with them taking the lead and selling the company they have been pushing for years at a discount to FMV. Will there be a conflict of interest with Amr Ezzat and his recomendations to his clients and or any public statements against the sale at this buyout price? We will see where this leads.. If we continue to see big bumps in order backlogs like in this quarter MKS will have to push the offer up significantly in order to convince us to accept. I will vote NO ..,, GLTA ..
