RE: buyout questionwhen the buyout is announced the stock price usually goes above the first offer. debeers always come in low and then meet whatever the market is calling for. you will receive a letter from debeers confirming the amount. you can then tender your shares if you are content. no sales commission is payable. thats the way it went when the bought us out at Windspear.their first offer was $4,75 then $5.00.
