@ Howard46 - Maybe. I held Certicom stock when BB (RIM at the time) bought it out. Didn't get what I though it was worth but that was then and this is now.

@ Howard46 - If I can recall exactly the takeout offer from BB(RIM) was close to $3 ($2.90 maybe). A far cry from the $40 it shot up the day it graduated from the TSX to the Nasdaq and the close to $300 ($280 or something) at its peak during the tech bubble.

@ Howard46 - So yea. BB(RIM) acquired Certicom for $106.5M after their initial bid of $53M was trumped by VeriSign. Would have to check BB's financials to see what that software is being carried on the books today but that was back in 2009.

Chen has been giving lot of employees shares so he better not have fked them over. Lot of his employees have stuck with him for 9 years so he better not fk them over.
