You are right. There is something smelly about this deal from stockholders perspective. The suitor knows a lot more about the potential of Summit's patents and technology.
This buyout parallels Philips's buyout of VLSI for $ 17 cash (and later upping it to $ 21)in April 1999. Since the communications sector is booming and China has also become a market, Philips bought VLSI on the cheap. Same goes for Summit, it seems. Take your money and buy some PMTC - it is not a $ 8 stock - it is worth at least $ 20 and has no debt! Windchill's potential is barely realized.
