I received the tender offer . It is basically an option to buy at the $9 price on February 18th, with no obligation to buy. It is meaningless, imho, because they have no obligation to purchase the stock (if the stock is below $9 on that date as one obvious reason). Anyone who accepts is a fool, because it is a one sided deal that can only hurt you if the stock is above $9 on February 18th.

The question is, why are they even doing it? Is it tied to options expirations? Are they just taking a shot at suckering some out of there stock if a big deal hits by then? Do they have a lot of stock already and are trying to drive the price up? Is that even legal?
